I have a current client who has shown little change during Physio intervention. Does anyone have any recent experience withWilson's Disease? Is maintenance therapy more appropriate than rehab?

Looks very complex to me, I don't have any experience with this but would like to know more. What area do you work in? What do these people present with to you? I found some info on the net but not much(nothing) physio related. I make up they get neuro symptoms.

To avoid torticollis maintain the position of neck......and do the proper exercise and stretching .
use cock-up splint to maintain hand position and use L-splint or night splint to maintain ankle position....proper positioning of spine to avoid scoliosis and kyfosis. maintaine sitting position 2-3 hours twice daily.......try to neck flexion by some external stimulation like ipod, book to maintain the length of neck extensor.....and relax the body.
medication is very much important , in case of sayani ...Artamin, zinkomia, syndopa, pacitan are used to treat her
If anyone have more knowledge about this disease please share.......or ask me if i know or experienced i can share.
