Mrs. Nair (name changed)
Parkinson's society was informed about Mrs. Nair in March 2011 by the doctor who was treating her for her condition. We were informed that she was taking her pd medication regularly but she was unable to move out of her house. During the home-based consultation visit by the physiotherapist and social worker, it was discovered that due to lack of awareness about pd and the required treatment her condition had deteriorated over the last five years and Mrs. Nair had not gone out of her house for the past one year.

The patient and her family were counseled on the necessary treatment and efficacy of exercises. Our team provided them with various techniques to improve the patient's quality of life. Within a month's time Mrs. Nair has shown rapid improvement in her condition. Today, she attends the weekly physiotherapy clinic at Mulund and is able to perform activities, which she initially needed the assistance of her family members.
