Been MIA for a looooong time. Sorry for that. Things have been hard for me and my patients because of the current situation. No for now. 😞

Giving online assessments and treatments for a whirl this time. It’s quite a challenge since Physical Therapy is more hands on treatment and continuous patient-therapist feedback. But when there’s a will, there’s a way. 🤘🏻

TANK-SLAP

No matter how good your gears are, how long you've been riding or how safe you ride, accidents can still happen.

1st assessment and treatment with Patient 'JV'. Forearm and femoral fractures, contusions, mild-moderate muscular and ligamentous tears on POI's(point of impact).

Short interval weight-bearing(25%) on affected leg as tolerated and PC/playstation therapy for affected arm as HEP(home exercise program).

You'll be up and riding in 3-5 months time. :-)

Saw this post circulating online which immediately caught my attention because of the considerable amount of ignorance shown in the comments section. Ignorant comments such as ‘why are you even driving?’ Or ‘you are putting your passengers at risk’. If you know nothing about a disease process you can ask or better yet, just don’t say anything.

Relax, what this guy is doing is completely safe. Let me outline it in 2 points with the first one being a bit lengthy but non-complicated explanation.

1. The flinging movements of his limbs that you see are called dystonias which are present in some Parkinson’s disease patients (google search if you want to know more about it.). These movements are completely uncontrolled and involuntary at rest or when an affected person relaxes. For example, when a person with PD is sitting down, the dystonias are obvious. But when you ask him/her to do an additional task such as reaching for a glass on the table, the dystonias on the arms will be cancelled out to accomodate for the movement. If you carefully observe his driving or if you play the video in slow-motion, you will notice that everytime he turns the steering wheel or moves the shifter, the flinging movements completely vanish. Driving is a skilled task requiring complex coordination that’s why the transition between movements are not that obvious since the periods of relaxation vs. activity are interspersed by split-seconds.

2. Contrary to popular belief, there are NO known cognitive affectations in Parkinson’s disease. With that said, a person afflicted might even be more cautious than normal functioning people. So if a person with PD is confident with a specific task(such as driving.), then rest assured he/she can DO IT. 🤘🏻⚡️

Patient started off non-ambulatory, stand only with walker and with zero hip flexion. After 10 intensive PT sessions, here he is now.

There are countless of theories and methods on how to rehabilitate stroke patients. The real challenge is selecting the perfect one which works both for the client and therapist. 😉
