Haleigh's Case Study: Robert and PD

    Haleigh's case study was about Robert, a client with Parkinson's Disease. The discussion centered around a program called LSVT BIG Program. Her mother is certified to administer this program and recently completed a research study involving Robert. This plan consisted of outpatient therapy four times a week for one month. He was taught the different activities a part of the program and was asked to do them at home as well. There is also a six month follow-up so that the therapists can see his progress. We were able to watch videos of Robert doing sit to stands and sit to supine. These videos were great to supplement our learning and helped us see how the program positively affected him.
