LSVT QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ACCURATE
ANSWERS
What are the benefits of rehabilitation in PD pts? - Answers --uses exercise
-helps with activity dependent neural-plasticity
-improves brain function (neural plasticity)
-may slow disease progression
What are PD pts treated with initially? if that doesn't work then what do they do? -
Answers --Drugs like Sinemet
-Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
What do you need to treat PD symptomatically? - Answers --Pharmacological
intervention (L-Dopa)
-Neurosurgical (DBS-STN)
-Voice and Body Exercises (LSVT Big & Loud)
What does LSVT stand for? - Answers -Lee Silverman Voice Training
between low, med & high, how much intensity does LSVT use? which system is it
targeting? - Answers --High intensity
-the impaired one
What type of benefits are there to LSVT? - Answers -Both Sensory and Motor
which deficits in PD are the reason why we have to give external cues/ they canNOT
use internal cues? - Answers -sensory deficits
Which PD deficits is LSVT specific to? - Answers --Bradykinesia/hypokinesia
