Once I found the right sized box this activity took me less than five minutes to make. A cardboard box with two holes (for the chid's arms) = Montessori Mystery Box. This is a fun game that depending on the child can last anywhere from five to fifty minutes. The idea is to isolate the child's sense of touch. They can identify objects by touch only. We like to play this in lots of different ways. By the child feeling a box with lots of items. As they touch or discover with their hands each object they try to identify...

Aug. 23, 2016 Thomas Metthe/Reporter-News Gladine Stirman throws a beanbag through a hoop during the Parkinson Wellness Recovery program Wednesday at the Hendrick Center for Rehabilitation. Although there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, physicians say medication and a rigorous rehabilitation program can help many patients maintain a reasonably high quality of life. The problem is that many of the people diagnosed with the progressive nervous system disorder don't always follow through on rehab, perhaps because of a lack of equipment at home or a lack of motivation to work out on their own. After Bonnie Hayashi, a neurologist at Hendrick Medical Center, noticed that with some of her patients, the observation became the genesis of the idea to start the new Parkinson's program at Hendrick. "Dr. Hayashi noticed that her patients would regress," said Maxi Kirk, outpatient rehab manager at Hendrick. The Parkinson's program, called Parkinson Wellness Recovery, incorporates exercise as well as physical therapy, cognitive exercises and speech therapy in three one-hour sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Hendrick Center for Rehabilitation. The program is administered by Susan King, a rehab fitness associate, and Linda Spencer, a physical therapist. Some of the symptoms of Parkinson's is a shuffling gait, caused by a shortened stride, and tremors, sometimes on one side of the body. Parkinson's can also affect speech and cognitive ability. PWR!Moves was developed by Becky Farley, an Arizona physician, with exercises designed specifically for Parkinson's patients. Although an estimated 200,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with the movement disorder each year, according to the Mayo Clinic, no one knows why some people get it. The disease is the subject of a massive amount of study.. "There's been a ton of research done on it," Kirk said. "We know what the symptoms are going to be, and if it's diagnosed early, we can work on the symptoms before they develop." Thomas Metthe/Reporter-News Elaine Smith punches a speed bag Wednesday during the Parkinson Wellness Recovery program at the Hendrick Center for Rehabilitation. King said the program's exercises focus on big movements and on improving the ability to turn. The exercise program includes about 10 stations "and we work on specific things at each station," King said. "We incorporate boxing ... I want everyone to feel challenged." Another focus of the exercises is stairs, which can pose a challenge for some Parkinson's patients. In some cases, people with an upstairs bedroom may have to move to a bedroom on the first floor if their disease progresses too much, Kirk said. Thomas Metthe/Reporter-News Don Conrad does an exercise with a medicine ball during the Parkinson Wellness Recovery program at the Hendrick Center for Rehabilitation. The cool down involves tai chi, the Chinese martial art that is practiced for defensive training and for its health benefits. The population most at risk for Parkinson's disease is older men, according to the Mayo Clinic. King said members of her class range in age from their early 70s to their late 80s. Three-quarters of them are men. Kirk said King and Spencer make the class enjoyable for the patients. Thomas Metthe/Reporter-News Susan King, a rehab fitness associate, leads the Parkinson Wellness Recovery program Wednesday, at the Hendrick Center for Rehabilitation. "Susan has a very upbeat program," she said. Physicians are consulted on the program, and Spencer monitors patients' improvement to make sure patients aren't regressing. Kirk said illnesses that cause patients to be bedridden for any length of time can set back a patient's progress. The program also encourages family members to attend the workouts both to observe and to exercise along with their loved one. "We do have family members who come and participate or watch," King said. "We like to get feedback." Another problem often faced by Parkinson's patients is depression. Participating in the program can help with that, King said. "Just being part of the group helps," she said. "They encourage each other. Just to be around other people who are going through the same thing helps." http://www.reporternews.com/lifestyle/health/hendrick-offers-rehab-program-for-parkinsons-patients-3a48a657-1d57-05a3-e053-0100007f691a-390778871.html

By: Devon Andre | Parkinsons | Monday, November 27, 2017 Nearly one million Americans are affected by a degenerative neurological called Parkinson’s disease with as many as 60,000 new cases being diagnosed every year. The disease, unfortunately, is without a cure. But treatments do exist that help control the symptoms as much as possible, but none effectively halt the progressive nature of the disease. However, new research from the University of Aberdeen shows that high-calorie diets and weight gain may improve life expectancy and reduce dementia. While some cases of Parkinson’s disease are thought to be attributed to genetic or environmental factors, the majority of cases are considered as having no specific known cause (idiopathic). Common symptoms of Parkinson’s include tremors, stiffness, and/or rigidity. This leads patients to have slow movements throughout every aspect of their lives, decreasing their quality of life. Parkinson’s patients may also present with impaired posture and balance as well have an increased risk of cognitive decline as advanced stages. Following patients for years The study in question followed 275 diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease or parkinsonian disorders for up to 10 years. They wanted to assess whether weight loss has any outcome on the overall health of the patient. Their findings suggest that weight loss is a common feature seen Parkinson’s disease and parkinsonian disorder, and can occur early in the stage of the disease. This early weight loss led patients to need more health with activities of daily living, a higher risk of developing dementia, and also a higher risk of early death. This study was the first to identify this association and has led the researchers to encourage doctors to make weight monitoring an important diagnostic criteria. Significant associations found “Weight loss is a common problem in Parkinson’s, but it wasn’t clear before we did this how common it was, mainly because of biases in previous studies, or what the consequences were of weight loss. Our hypothesis was that people who are losing weight were going to have adverse outcomes. Our finding that those who lose weight have poorer outcomes is important because reversing weight loss may, therefore, improve outcomes. Therefore, it is vital that further research investigate whether e.g. high-calorie diets will improve outcomes for people with Parkinson’s who lose weight,” said Dr. Angus MacLeod, who led the study. It has yet to be proven that incorporating higher-calorie diets to promote weight gain will improve patient outcomes, but future studies will explore this relationship. https://www.belmarrahealth.com/weight-loss-parkinsons-disease-patients-linked-poorer-outcomes/
