“…They also corroborate that the family and caregiver can break paradigms about PD and fall prevention, and work with the elderly in their entirety. Thus, care becomes light and dynamic, reducing the emotional, social and physical overload that falls on them (32)(33)(34) .…”

“…This goal addresses the needs of the elderly with PD, which, due to the reduction of the speed of muscular contraction, causes the reduction of the protection reflex and of the response to the stretching of the muscle, resulting in the loss or reduction of the balance. These factors, added to the biological changes, increase the disposition for falls, that can bring countless repercussions to the life of the elderly from fractures, loss of social life, hospitalizations and even death (15)(16)(17) .…”

Gerontotechnology for fall prevention of the elderly with Parkinson

et al. 2019

Objective: to develop the gerontological nursing care process among the elderly with Parkinson’s disease, aiming at the promotion of health through the creation of gerontotechnologies for fall prevention. Method: Convergent Care Research was used as a methodological route. Data were collected from February to October 2017, with the participation of nine elderly people with Parkinson’s disease. An educational booklet, a memory game called “não cai istepô”, a memory game called “caiu de maduro” were developed through clinical evaluation through scales, recorded semi-structured interview and workshops. Results: the application of gerontotechnology resulted from the elderly in self-care, empowerment and knowledge through play, revealing interest in behavior change, independence and learning, as well as serving as a facilitator of care. Conclusion: the gerontotechnologies presented as a playful and innovative instrument for the nursing gerontological care process.

“…Accepting the outcome of the diagnosis and remaining calm though less frequent may help individuals make right decisions as to what to do next. In accordance with this claim, Ferreira et al [10], in their integrative review, have identified learning to act calmly, positive thinking, and more patience as key ingredients of positive aspects for caregivers of PD patients.…”

“…However, how one reacts to the outcome of PD diagnosis is likely to affect the subsequent actions she/he would take. Negative overreactions as well as unresponsiveness are likely to lead to negative aspects in the caregivers and compromise the cares they are supposed to provide to the patient [10]. Accepting the outcome of the diagnosis and remaining calm though less frequent may help individuals make right decisions as to what to do next.…”

“…Furthermore, based on her/her scoping review, Bhimani [3] concluded that PD patients' caregivers experience a wide range of caregiving-related stresses that need to be recognized and understood. Ferreira, Coriolano, and Lins [10], in their integrated review, have come to conclude that “the challenge of caring for a person with PD needs to be recognized by caregivers, professionals and health managers as a tool for the (re)construction of care” (p.1). Overall, caregivers are matchless assets not only for the PD patients but also for healthcare providers and thus their concerns, experiences, and perspectives are of greater importance and relevance.…”

Understanding the Experience and Perspectives of Parkinson’s Disease Patients’ Caregivers

This research sets out to explore, uncover, and understand the experiences and perspectives of people who care for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). To this end, 20 participants who accompanied patients with PD to a training organized by Parkinson Patients Support Organization-Ethiopia (PPSO-E) provided the data required. Analysis of the data produced several themes such as delay in PD diagnosis and intervention, differing reactions to PD diagnosis, toughness of caring for PD patients, community’s limited understanding and distortion of PD, lack of specific name and clear expression for PD in local languages, lack of sufficient support to the caregivers, caregivers’ compassion and patient’s courageousness, and shortage and expensiveness of PD prescriptions. The themes produced have been discussed in light of existing literature. Based on the findings of this research, recommendations were forwarded and direction for future research was indicated.

The absence of effective and satisfactory treatments that contribute to repairing the dopaminergic damage caused by Parkinson's Disease (PD) and the limited recovery capacity of the nervous system are troubling issues and the focus of many research and clinical domains. Recent advances in the treatment of PD through stem cell (SC) therapy have recognized their promising restorative and neuroprotective effects that are implicated in the potentiation of endogenous mechanisms of repair and contribute to functional locomotor improvement. Physical exercise (PE) has been considered an adjuvant intervention that by itself induces beneficial effects in patients and animal models with Parkinsonism. In this sense, the combination of both therapies could provide synergic or superior effects for motor recovery, in contrast with their individual use. This review aims to provide an update on recent progress and the potential effectiveness of SC transplantation and PE for the treatment of locomotor deficits in PD. It has reviewed the neuropathological pathways involved in the classical motor symptoms of this condition and the mechanisms of action described in experimental studies that are associated with locomotor enhancement through exercise, cellular transplantation, and their union in some neurodegenerative conditions.
