The purpose of this research was to describe what rehabilitation support Parkinson’s patients need to cope with their day-to-day life as they continue with treatment. The goal of the study was to give a scope on the provision of health education, promotion, and advancement of the life quality of Parkinson’s disease patients.
The authors used literature review to conduct the research and it provided an overview on how rehabilitation can improve quality of life in patients with Parkinson’s disease. The articles used were selected from various databases such as CICAHL, EBSCOhost, Pubmed and SAGE Premier. They were used in archiving evidence-based and reliable articles for the thesis. Inclusive and exclusive criteria method was strictly followed. The results were analysed using content analysis. Eight selected articles were assessed and evaluated by the authors.
There are three main types of rehabilitation therapies, namely occupational, physical and speech therapy. These different forms of treatments perform unique roles that help patients to get better and they share results of active and healthy lifestyles. These therapies can be offered in two forms: inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation treatments. Rehabilitation aims offer a very controlled, medical surrounding that will help an individual’s body regain strength and heal, aid the body in fast relearning of lost skills, and initiate new improvised ways of carrying out activities that currently seem difficult.
