LSTV-BIG therapy: NeuroFT patient testimony
Progressive neurological diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), affect speech, swallowing, limb function, gait, balance, and activities of daily living. Today, therapeutic options that are prescribed early in the course of the disease, such as LSTV-BIG therapy, can potentially contribute to improving motor symptoms.
LSTV-BIG therapy is a therapeutic modality with great benefits for those who suffer from Parkinson’s. Learn about the testimony of a NeuroFT patient who has improved her life thanks to this therapy.
What is LSVT-BIG therapy?
The newly developed LSVT BIG treatment, derived from the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT), belongs to the latest approaches that seek to restore normal range of motion by recalibrating the patient’s perception of movement execution. For people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, deficits in motor function increase during the course of the disease, exacerbating disability.
These deficits result from the loss of dopamine-secreting neurons in the motor circuits of the basal ganglia that are essential for movement control and coordination.
There is evidence that these exercises are neuroprotective and, if done regularly, can help the brain produce growth factors to protect dopamine-producing neurons from premature death. This is why LSVT BIG has been shown to be effective in improving the mobility of people with PD at a variety of stages of the disease.
NeuroFT patient testimony in LSTV-BIG therapy
In the following video, our patient shares her testimony with the BIG treatment at the NeuroFT Clinic.
The treatment focuses on the intensive exercise of the large muscles with the help of range movements. The high intensity of LSVT BIG is predefined by a training mode of 16 individual sessions of 1 hour for 4 weeks and an independent training program at home. In addition, each exercise is repeated at least 8 times and is performed with an effort of 80% of the maximum workload.
