Who is a candidate for LSVT BIG program?
LSVT BIG offers great hope towards improved functional movement and mobility for people with PD. Beyond PD, it can potentially offer help for movement challenges arising from a range of other conditions. Ultimately, an LSVT BIG Certified Clinician is the best person to determine if treatment could help you and, if so, determine the best course of action.
Studies have shown that LSVT BIG can help people in the early to middle stages of PD, but clinical experience indicates that the treatment can also help people with later-stage PD, atypical Parkinsonimis or movement challenges from other neurological conditions.
As part of their certification process, clinicians who use LSVT BIG learn when the treatment might be helpful for other conditions. While research on LSVT BIG has focused on people with PD, LSVT Certified Clinicians can adapt its exercises and functional tasks to help overcome challenges arising from a variety of conditions.
Outcomes for various conditions and circumstances are explained in more detail below. Ultimately, an LSVT BIG Certified Clinician is the best person to determine if treatment could help.
