| Overview |

Researchers at the University of Rochester reported in the January 2007 issue of Neurology that the projected number of people living with Parkinson's disease (PD) globally will increase from 4.1 million to 8.7 million by 2030. This increase means many things for health care systems around the world, especially for physical therapists, who are seeing an increasing caseload of people living with Parkinson's. Unfortunately, there is currently little information on the disease specifically designed for physical therapists, which was the impetus behind this course.
To address this need Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) invited the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA), the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and the Visiting Nurse Service in New York (VNSNY) to collaborate on an educational course and online webcast specifically for physical therapists interested in treating people with Parkinson's.
The course was recorded during the live event held April 20, 2012 at the NYU Langone Medical Center in New York, NY and is presented online in four modules:
- Module 1: Understanding Parkinson's Disease and the Growth of Physical Therapy as a Viable Treatment Option (LMS-432)
- Module 2: Understanding the Impact of Exercise on the Brain and Choosing Outcome Measures to Capture Change Following Exercise (LMS-433)
- Module 3: Evidence-Based Physical Therapy Intervention for Persons with Parkinson's Disease (LMS-434)
- Module 4: Maximizing Patient Outcomes For Patients with Parkinson's: Exploring Options and Creating Connections between Patient, Family, Health Care, and Community (LMS-435)
PDF, APDA, APTA, and VNSNY believe that offering educational opportunities to physical therapists - to help them better evaluate and treat Parkinson's disease - will help ensure better care for people living with the disease.
The content and management of this course are under the exclusive direction of PDF, APDA, APTA, and VNSNY and are made possible by support from Kenneth M. and Susan Granat Weil in memory of John and Joan Haine, the Edmond J. Safra Foundation, and the American Physical Therapy Association and with in-kind support from Rusk Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Medical Center.
