If we’re talking about “non pharmacological” treatments for our patients, let us not forget the value of a simple hug. Nothing replaces the healing capacity of empathy and hope. Shared with brave permission from a patient with young-onset PD.🌷

We describe 4 “classic” cases of functional dystonia who improved with integrated rehabilitation. Rehab can provide benefit even when the etiology is unclear - and helps patients. Check it out!

Fantastic new ad campaign by @ParkinsonCanada. Finally changing the narrative to empower patients. PD is something you live with and doesn’t define you. (And for the trainees, a brilliant video of pseudo-footdrop dystonia) @uoftneurons @UHNSHSNeurology @IntegratedMove

Nice cool picture on the ‘biology’ of Parkinson's @ParkinsonismD. When a threshold of neuronal loss is passed, the clinical phase of PD manifests, w/ the motor and non-motor features. Interesting visual summary, though we are uncertain on a few steps.

Great to be in Toronto where movement disorders fellow Dr. Alexandra Boogers autographed her new children’s book on Parkinson’s and deep brain stimulation for me. Meet Alex, Dr. Twitchy and Dr. Ganglia and best of all go to space. cosmicshakes.com #parkinson
