Welcome
There are three sections of this presentation. In the first section, we will address the basics of Parkinson’s disease, including the motor symptoms of PD. The second section will address non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The third section will address treatments for PD and advice for living well with the disease.
This section will cover why Parkinson’s disease develops and how the disease worsens with time. It will also discuss the movement problems that occur with advanced Parkinson’s disease and will show videos to demonstrate the types of movement problems that you may witness.
This section will cover the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease that are not related to movement, such as depression, anxiety, cognitive problems, blood pressure problems and gastrointestinal problems, as well as others.
This section will cover treatments for Parkinson’s disease including medications, surgery and rehabilitative therapies. It will also focus on steps to live well with the disease including exercise and diet considerations. These steps will help you take better care of someone with advanced PD.
This section includes the Course Evaluation, which is the final step to receiving your Course Certificate. Please do not submit your Course Evaluation until you've completed the entire course and passed the Final Test.
