Description
Dual task interventions can have an immediate positive effect on function and fall risk in patients with Parkinson’s. But outdated, conflicting research has left many clinicians unsure about how to incorporate it effectively in therapy sessions.
Based on the latest research, this recording will guide you through a cutting-edge, evidence-based framework for applying dual task interventions with Parkinson’s. Learn how to identify appropriate treatment candidates and explore interdisciplinary best practices for applying dual task/multitask treatments with patients in any practice setting.
