Clinical Diagnosis of Idiopathic PD
Early Motor symptoms (2/3)
(bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity)
Insidious onset – nonspecific non-motor and motor early symptoms
Asymmetrical distribution (unilateral initially progressing to bilateral symptoms later on)
Positive Response to DA replacement
Differential DX Jankovic 2003; Pal et al., 2002
Advanced PDWhat is considered
“Advanced”?
Early Moderate Advanced
Rating Parkinson Disease Severity
Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale
STAGE 0 = No signs of disease.STAGE 1 = Unilateral disease.STAGE 1.5 = Unilateral plus axial involvement.STAGE 2 = Bilateral disease, without impairment of balance.STAGE 2.5 = Mild bilateral disease, with recovery on pull test.STAGE 3 = Mild to moderate bilateral disease; some postural
instability; physically independent.STAGE 4 = Severe disability; still able to walk or
stand unassisted. STAGE 5 = Wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided.
Goetz CG, Poewe W, Rascol O, et al. Movement Disorder Society Task Force report on the Hoehn and Yahr staging scale: status and recommendations. Mov Disord. 2004;19(9):1020-28.
Additional Features
Onset of motor complications, despite aggressive pharmacological and behavioral managements.
Motor Complications• Wearing Off; On-Off Fluctuations• Dyskinesias• Less responsive to drugs
Giugni & Okun, 2014; Varanese et al, 2010
MOTORCharacteristics of Advanced PD
• Increased severity of bradykinesia,hypokinesia, & rigidity, freezing
• Difficulty walking; use wheelchair more often or bedridden
• Not able to live alone, help needed with everything
• Increased falls• Greater need for assistive devices• Worsening of posture
Giugni & Okun, 2014; Varanese et al, 2010
NON-MOTORCharacteristics of Advanced PD
• Dementia and increased neuropsychological changes (slow processing, attention, etc.)
• Psychosis and hallucinations• Depression, Anxiety, and Apathy• Sleep Disorders• Autonomic Dysfunction• Pain

These motor and non-motor complications, may dramatically
impair quality of life.Potential Secondary Impairments
Cardiovascular Deconditioning
Loss of muscular strength/weakness
Fixed postural deformities
Pain
Loss of normal range of motion
Impaired balance
Aspiration
What makes atypical Parkinsonismsdifferent from idiopathic PD?
Have one or more features similar to PD (rigidity, bradykinesia, tremor, postural instability)
Have added symptoms not seen in PD (“Parkinson’s Plus”)
Disease course and underlying pathology differs from PD
They do not respond well or in the same way to anti-Parkinson medications
Can be difficult to distinguish from PD initially
PSP – Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
MSA – Multiple System Atrophy
CBD – Corticobasal Degeneration
LBD – Lewy Body Dementia
FTD – Frontotemporal Degeneration
“Most Common” Atypical Parkinsonisms
What Causes Atypical Parkinsonism?
Alpha-synucleinopathies & Tauopathies
Alpha-synuclein is the primary structural component of Lewy bodies, as seen in:
-- PD-- MSA-- Lewy Body Dementia
Tau proteins help support and stabilize the “skeleton” of brain cells in the CNS• When there is a defect in the tau, they accumulate
abnormally and produce neurofibrillary tangles, as seen in:-- PSP -- Alzheimer’s-- CBD -- FTD
Incidence and
Prevalence
• Very rare but frequently misdiagnosed as PD
-Rates vary from 1-6 per 100,000 except for LBD at 400 per 100,000
• Life expectancy-Rates vary from 5 – 10 years
• Hospitalizations generally due to:

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
Remember “FIGS” to help with
differentiating PSP from PD
F = Frequent, sudden falls early in disease course
• generally posteriorly
I = Ineffective Medication• anti-PD medications are not particularly helpful
G = Gaze Palsy• vertical loss (downward first)
S = Speech & Swallow Changes
Other PSP Symptoms
• Emotional and personality changes-frontal lobe dysfunction
• Apathy• “Rocket sign” – patient quickly moves
from sitting to standing without thinking and falls backwards into the chair
• Bradyphrenia – slowness of thought • Eye disturbances:
• double vision • blepharospasms – forceful, involuntary
eyelid closing • reduced blinking • difficulty maintaining eye contact • “square wave jerks” rapid, involuntary,
lateral eye movements that interfere with precisely aiming the eyes at a target
Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)
1. MSA-P (parkinsonian): Striatonigral degeneration implies parkinsonism with some degree of cerebellar dysfunction.Slow, stiff movements
2. MSA-A (autonomic): Shy-Drager syndrome reflects a predominance of autonomic failure.Orthostatic hypotension, constipation, urinary incontinence
3. MSA-C (cerebellar): Olivopontocerebellar atrophy indicates primarily cerebellar defects with minor degrees of parkinsonism.Ataxia, balance, coordination, gait, and speech
Also common is frontal-executive dysfunction. Memory and visual spatial functions can also be impaired.
Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD)
Remember “CIAO” to help with differentiating CBD from PD
C = Cognitive changes• mild early on and can progress to dementia
I = Ineffective Medication• anti-PD medications are not particularly helpful
A = Asymmetrical Presentation & Apraxia (inability to perform coordinated movements or use familiar objects)
• alien-limb phenomenon
O = Odd movements or feelings• slowness, stiffness, shakiness, clumsiness
Lewy Body Dementia
Progressive cognitive decline within 12 months of onset of parkinsonism
Two of the core features
• Fluctuating cognition• Visual hallucinations• Parkinsonism
• One core and one suggestive feature
Often with rapid progression of posture changes – generally trunk flexion and/or lateral flexion
McKeith, et al. Third report of DLB consortium. Neurology 2005; 65:1863
Frontotemporal Degeneration
• “The hallmark of FTD is a gradual, progressive decline in behavior and/or language (with memory usually relatively preserved).
• “As the disease progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult for people to plan or organize activities, behave appropriately in social or work settings, interact with others, and care for oneself, resulting in increasing dependency on caregivers.”
• Generally occurs in people in their 50s & 60s

General Points to Remember
• The atypical Parkinsonisms are not managed well with medication or surgical treatment like in PD
• Symptoms and presentations can vary greatly
• Compensatory strategies may need to be implemented earlier (vs. restorative treatment methods used in idiopathic PD)
Rehab focus in both Advanced PD (H&Y 4 to 5) and Atypical PD
• Maintain or improve physical capacity:Vocal loudness Bigness of movementsVoice quality Quality/Control of movementPitch range PostureSpeech intelligibility BalanceRange or motion Strength
• Maintain vital functions: swallowing and moving safely
• Functional communication and movement to improve and maintain function, enhance safety and reduce caregiver burden
• Use of external cueing or augmentation (care team)
Multi-disciplinary team is key!
Medical Team
• Neurologist• Neurosurgeon• General practice
physician• Nurses• CNP/PA in Neurology• Physiatrist• Pharmacist
Allied Team
• Speech therapists• Physical therapists• Occupational
therapists• Clinical
neuropsychologist• Social workers• Nutritionist
Behavioral intervention is the most EFFECTIVE therapy for improving communication and function!

Physical Challenges
Balance- Use physical support in standing as needed or perform exercises in sitting or supine when needed
Endurance- reduce repetitions and scale intensity as needed
Use Assistive or adaptive devices as needed (walking devices, raised toilets, higher chairs, etc.)
Take care to limit exacerbating orthostatic hypotension
Early caregiver training when physical assistance is needed or WILL be needed. Learn proactively!
Cognitive and Non-Motor Challenges
Early caregiver training when carryover of function to home and homework is challenging.
Intensity of dosage is key in producing meaningful and more lasting changes. May even need more than 16 sessions.
Simple and redundant cueing along with modeling facilitates motor learning and retention. “BIG” can be
learned by almost anyone!
Goal of LSVT BIG with Advanced or Atypical PD: It’s all about FUNCTION!
• Reduces caregiver burden• Improves safety and
independence• Improved quality of life and
self efficacy
Cued BIG Functional Movement
• Keep it BIG every day!• May need to customize for
practical implementation• Team support is needed• Use the Homework Helper
DVD!
Daily Exercises Vital
Functional Task Specific Training in LSVT BIG-More than just exercise!
• Translation of larger, better quality movements trained in functional tasks which are relevant to the individual.
• May need family input to choose the tasks that are mostmeaningful to the patient
Examples… Personalized,PurposefulPractice
Walking or Wheelchair Mobility Training
• Environment and distance tailored to each person’s abilities and goals
• Therapist may train in home or replicate the individual’s own walking scenarios, e.g., walking in small home
• Strategies to help freezing of gait included• Use assistive device as needed (walker,
cane, wheelchair, etc.)• May need more frequent cues to “Think BIG”
and “Keep it BIG” from caregivers

Other enjoyable fitness for PD
There is HOPE!
• Don’t discount therapy just because the disease is advanced or it is an atypical PD
• People with advanced PD and atypical PD can have amazing outcomes!
• FUNCTIONAL communication and movement of any kind can dramatically improve quality of life (even if supplementation is required)
“Here are some activities that I had avoided but which are now part of my routine again: getting up from a low couch, getting into and out of my car (which is low to the ground), putting bills into my wallet, retrieving my cell phone
from a pants pocket and putting it back, properly donning a sports
jacket, buttoning a shirt.All in four weeks!”
- Ralph F.
Summary
LSVT BIG is applicable to all stages of PD and can be customized to each patient’s needs and treatment settings
LSVT BIG can increase independence, speed, quality and/or safety with communication, mobility and ADLs
Restore Function! Improve Function! Maintain Function!
Atypical and Advanced PD carry unique challenges requiring creative solutions and increased caregiver involvement
