Parkinson's Patients Also Susceptible to Osteoporosis
For instance, the tremors associated with PD have been shown to interfere with the repair and rehabilitation of bone injuries. Those who have had a joint replacement are often relieved of pain and initially have improvements in mobility, but these improvements only last about a year.
"Whether this is because the disease is progressing or because the rehabilitation was insufficient is unclear. So patients now have to decide what they want to accomplish - more mobility or decreased pain.
They have to know that although their pain level should improve, their function may get worse after a year," he added.
The therapies recommended to prevent orthopedic problems in Parkinson's disease include bone density treatment, physical therapy, vitamin therapy medication to increase bone density and optimizing therapies for gait and rigidity.
