parkinson's disease

[vinniek21]

HI, im actually seeing this pt as an outpatient.
She is very shaky and has an increased amount of resting and intention tremours of her neck and UL, and to a lesser extent her LL. Her co-ordination is fairly fine, Her balance isnt too bad,
She is amb with a 4WF, with supervision.
She can walk straight for a short period of time but then can veer to the left. And at times she develops a festinent gait pattern.

As an outpatient, what can i do to help her? I cant do anything for her tremors.
So i was thinking about working on her walking with tape on the floor.
ALso thinking about general exercise to improve her LL strength.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
