Speaker: Dr. Emily Ramon
Course Description
Parkinson’s disease presents with a wide spectrum of motor and non-motor symptoms that can significantly impact participation, quality of life, and long-term outcomes. While motor symptoms such as gait dysfunction, freezing of gait, and dyskinesia are often prioritized, non-motor features—including autonomic changes, fatigue, cognitive fluctuations, and mood—also play a critical role in functional performance. This course will provide physical therapists with an updated framework for understanding the complexity of Parkinson’s disease and practical, evidence-based strategies for assessment and management. Through case examples and clinical applications, participants will learn how to personalize interventions, integrate non-motor considerations into motor training, and optimize care across disease stages.
