This report describes a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of Parkinson's disease. By using published sources, the disease process, clinical findings, and medical management of Parkinson's disease are reviewed. The continual change in the clinical picture as well as the therapeutic needs require that clinicians have a full understanding of the disease and drugs used. This is followed by a description of a group program, including the evaluation process, treatment goals, and individual and group activities employed. Rehabilitation services are needed as medical management alone is not sufficient to maintain patient's daily living skills. The occupational therapist is skilled in assessment and training of activities for daily living. As a result, occupational therapy can be an integral part of the treatment program.
本报告描述了一种治疗帕金森病的多学科方法。通过查阅已发表的资料，对帕金森病的疾病进程、临床发现和药物治疗进行了综述。临床症状的不断变化以及治疗需求要求临床医生充分了解该疾病和所用药物。接下来描述了一个团体项目，包括评估过程、治疗目标以及所采用的个人和团体活动。仅靠药物治疗不足以维持患者的日常生活技能，因此需要康复服务。职业治疗师在日常生活活动的评估和训练方面很有技巧。因此，职业治疗可以成为治疗方案的一个组成部分。
