   Healthcare professionals highly recommend a series of exercises including balance exercises for folks who have Parkinson's Disease. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Recently, a study has been done to investigate exercises and their effects on people with Parkinson's Disease. Schenkman m and others published the study, Exercise for people in early- or mid-stage Parkinson disease, to understand in greater detail the type and benefits of exercise that most helps patients with Parkinson Disease. The researchers set out to prove that Exercise confers short-term benefits for individuals with Parkinson disease. The purpose of the study was to compare short- and long-term responses among 2 supervised exercise programs and a home-based control exercise program. The 16-month randomized controlled exercise intervention investigated 3 exercise approaches: flexibility/balance/function exercise (FBF), supervised aerobic exercise (AE), and home-based exercise (control). The researchers concluded that their Findings demonstrated overall functional benefits at 4 months in the flexibility/balance/function exercise group and improved walking economy (up to 16 months) in the  aerobic exercise group. Consequently, practicing balance exercises for individuals who have Parkinson's is essential to help improve steadiness and daily function.

Daily Balance Exercises Benefit Those With Parkinson's

     Healthcare professionals and medical researchers are in agreement that practicing balance exercises every day is critical for folks with Parkinson's Disease. since Parkinson's Disease effects posture, balance, leg strength and motor coordination, which leads to limited function with activities of daily living, it is essential for those individuals to keep up with equilibrium routines on a regular basis. Stability exercises can include learning to control weight shifting so the person does not fall over forwards. Additionally, stability exercises should include coordination routines with walking to keep the person from losing their balance point and falling forwards. People with Parkinson's Disease should also perform daily strengthening exercises for their legs and back extensor muscles to help with maintaining an upright posture and with having adequate leg strength needed for good balance. You can learn these strengthening exercises and specific balance exercises by following the direction of a knowledgeable Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
