Parkinson's disease can slowly lose action and seriously affect the quality of life of patients. The regular and scientific movement can make the muscles of Parkinson's patients relatively strong and elastic, effectively alleviate some of the adverse conditions caused by the disease, and improve physical function.

Life function exercise. Parkinson's patients are relatively slow. Family should encourage them to solve their own clothes, get up, etc., in order to strengthen the upper limbs and upper and lower limbs coordination training to exercise their ability to coordinate their limbs.

Walking gait exercise. Parkinson patients usually have small broken steps and rushing forward, not easy to turn. When the patient is conducting gait training, the body should stand upright, and the arms should be coordinated with the footsteps. When starting, they should raise the tip as much as possible, step as slow and larger as possible, and then the toes are to prevent a small step of panic. When walking, the arms should be swinging to the left and right, as if there are obstacles in front, avoid crossing one foot with the other foot.

Balanced exercise. Balanced exercise is particularly easy to fall when Parkinson patients walk. This exercise needs to be gradual. Patients can sit on the beginning, and gradually be proficient, and then start to adapt to standing, and then conduct no support exercise. If the patient has good balance ability, you can choose to exercise projects such as fast walking, Tai Chi, yoga and other projects.

Relax and breathing exercise. Patients can lie on their body as comfortable as possible in a quiet place, close their eyes, and inhale deeply and slowly. The abdominal cavity raised when inhaling, and imagined that the breath reached the head and neck, relaxed the abdominal cavity when exhaling, and imagined that the qi flowed down from the head, reached the bottom of the feet after the back, and repeatedly practice for 5 minutes to 15 minutes; you can also take it. Sit, back to the back of the chair, relax the whole body, and put your hands on your chest deeply. This exercise can be used as preparation or relaxation before exercise, mainly to prevent physical soreness the next day after exercise or after exercise.

Physical exercise. Parkinson's patients will have a lower level of physical strength and endurance after illness, so they should perform some of their favorite exercises in a targeted manner. While ensuring a good mood, they can also reduce physical disability to a certain extent. For example, they can be based on it. His personal situation insists on walking, swimming or performing some other systemic exercises in order to increase cardiopulmonary function.

Exercise of the limbs. Parkinson patients will gradually occur in stiff limbs, so it is necessary to often move joints. When patients are active, they must ensure that each joint must be taken care of, and at the same time as the movement is done, they must be careful of muscle strain.

Although Parkinson's disease is an irreversible disease, while cooperating with doctors, it is necessary to actively perform rehabilitation exercises to obtain better quality of life.
