LSVT BIG
LSVT BIG® trains people with Parkinson's disease to use their body more normally.
LSVT BIG® is an intensive, amplitude-focused treatment that effectively trains the neuromuscular system. The exercises can be modified depending on the patient's functional ability.
Developed and scientifically researched over the past 25 years with funding from the National Institutes of Health, LSVT BIG® has demonstrated improvements in motion function in people with Parkinson's disease including, but not limited to:
- Faster walking with bigger steps
- Improved balance
- Increased trunk rotation
- Improvements in daily living activities such as bed mobility and dressing
- Improved fine motor control
