Falls and Parkinson’s Groups AKA Balance and Safety Groups and Exercise Classes for People with Parkinsons Sine Rickard Physiotherapist Livewell SW (sine.rickard@nhs.net) Private Practice (sinerickard@blueyonder.co.uk)

Exercise Classes with Parkinson’s UK in Plymouth Started 2003 Initiative from local branch Started with 3 people exercising Currently has a rota of 3 physios providing weekly classes in 4 venues Physio role includes triage, signposting and onward therapy referral

Group ethos To provide accessible exercise classes for people with Parkinson’s Disease (and Parkinsonism) and their carers Warm welcome to exercise class Army of volunteers – prepare and clear venues Teas/ Coffee/ biscuits and cake after each session Volunteers phone if people unexpectedly missing sessions Subsidising transport - contract with local taxi firm

Class format Evolved over the last 15 years Resources – chairs, theraband, mats and pillows provided Therapists bring their own music and exercise equipment – weights, balls, sticks, hula hoops Classes now ‘all ability’ Photo of previous attempts at circuit class

Group Content Quick Reference Cards (UK) and Guidance Notes for physiotherapists working with people with Parkinson’s Disease (2009) Based on the Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy Guidelines for Physical Therapy in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (2004) European Guidelines (2014)

Floor exercises 30min - On/off floor practice - Pilates style exercises - Stretches - Exercises in prone - 4 point kneeling - Large volume exercises

Main Exercises Warm up Stretches Seated posture practice Strengthening Standing posture practice Stand balance i.e. OTAGO or Tai Chi

Keep programme varied Each physio does own programmes Vary the music Vary equipment S&LT exercises Co-ordination exercises

Falls Prevention and Cueing Exercisers have high incidence of falls Exercises cued to the beat Metronome to borrow Walking poles to try in group sessions RESCUE information sheets

Future plans? Add floor exercises to other venues Consider higher level exercise class Consider PD Warrior Nordic walking
