The Movement Disorders Program at the Kingston Centre has developed self-help videos that cover top strategies to help people with Parkinson’s manage some of the common difficulties that they may experience in their everyday life.
The first video introduces the theory behind the strategies by using the example of a car’s cruise control.
The remaining 15 videos present common difficulties and how to overcome them using strategies. These self-help strategies encourage the use of focused attention to concentrate on each step of a sequence in order to perform a task more easily. Practise the strategies demonstrated so you become familiar with them. Use the strategies when the difficulty arises in your daily activities.
The Movement Disorders Program acknowledges the financial assistance provided by the Parkinson’s Foundation, USA, for the production of the following videos.
