About the Event
About This Event:
Chelsea Duppen, DPT, PhD will talk about "Learning and Relearning Movement Patterns with Parkinson Disease"
Motor learning describes how the brain learns, refines, and adapts movement over time. Parkinson disease can make this process more effortful, especially for movements that used to feel automatic. This talk will share practical strategies and recent research on how to maximize learning and relearning of everyday movements.
&
Dr. Leslie Cloud will talk about "A journey through PD: past, present, future."
Buckle up for a ride through the history of PD, from its earliest descriptions, to more recent discoveries, and future prospects for treatment.
