Exercise‐based rehabilitation (ST, PT, OT) is becoming a
routine part of management in PD
To provide symptomatic relief; improve function
Our work –
LSVT
Protocols:
based on 30
years of
federally
funded
research and
clinical
experience
LSVT LOUD is speech therapy
• Delivered by LSVT LOUD Certified Speech‐
Language Pathologists
LSVT BIG is physical/occupational therapy
• Delivered by LSVT BIG Certified Physical or Occupational Therapists
LSVT Protocols
• Structured, evidence‐based, rehabilitative treatment protocols developed specifically for PD
• Adhere to principles of motor learning and activity dependent neuroplasticity
• Intensive and challenging EXERCISE, specific to the unique features of PD
• Personalized and specific functional training of voice, mobility and activities of daily living
Trang 4 Each treatment is delivered 4 consecutive days a
week for 4 weeks
Individual 1 hour sessions by LSVT Certified Therapists
found in all practice settings
Daily homework practice
(all 30 days of the month)
Daily carryover exercises
(all 30 days of the month)
LIFE‐LONG HABIT OF PRACTICE IS ESTABLISHED!
LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG Treatment are SEPARATE protocols
Goals for People with PD
People with PD will use their bigger
movements and louder voice “automatically”
in everyday living – and there is long‐term carryover
of increased amplitude use!

If you received treatment that was any thing other than the dosage, exercises, homework and carryover described – you did NOT receive LSVT. There are no modified versions.
Treatment fidelity is KEY!
If a clinician offers any modified version, don’t do it! You will not receive the benefits of treatment
we have established in our 30 years of research.
After treatment, continue daily dose of LSVT homework exercises!
The best combination for success!

Trang 5Routine is
Critical
• By the end of treatment, clients should have a well‐
established homework
routine they can and will
continue on their own
• Importance of homework should be discussed during assessment
• If homework routine is not followed, grounds for dismissal
Homework during Treatment
• 15‐20 minutes one other time on treatment days
• 15‐20 minutes twice a day on non‐treatment days
Components of Homework LSVT LOUD
• Daily exercises
• Long ahs
• High/low ahs
• Functional phrases
• Speech hierarchy
exercises
• Carryover Assignments
LSVT BIG
• Daily exercises
• Sustained Exercises
• Repetitive Stepping and Rocking Exercises
• Functional Component Tasks
• BIG walking
• Carryover Assignments
Homework is NOT optional!
Homework is a KEY to long‐term success!
Homework makes you feel better and speak/move better!
Discharge Now What?
You have completed the full course of LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG
4x per week for 4 weeks
16 total treatment sessions
What are your discharge recommendations?
How do you continue to be successful with the gains you have made in therapy?
When should you see your clinician again for a tune up?
What do data
say about
maintenance?
• Research data have documented maintenance
of outcomes in LSVT LOUD
at 6 month, 12 months and 24 months post‐
treatment
(Ramig et al., 1995; 1996, 2001a, 2001b)
• BUT…
…Clinically one of the challenges many
people with PD face following therapy is how to maintain treatment effects over time and keep exercising.
• No longer regularly attending therapy
• Disease progression
• Other medical complications
• The feeling of “I’m doing well, I don0t need to do this anymore.”
• Lack of motivation
• Sensory impairment impacting quality of practice

community‐based classes

While Regular Intensive Exercise
is very important,
it does NOT replace
a “daily dose” of
LSVT BIG or LSVT LOUD.
Both are needed!
WHY?
• Not all exercise focuses on AMPLITUDE
• Amplitude focused exercise needed EVERY day due to hypokinesia and bradykinesia
• Not all exercise focuses on sensory awareness challenges in people with
PD. Recognizing you need
to feel louder and bigger
than you think just to be within normal limits!!
WHY?
• Not all intensive exercise is intensive across the
“spectrum”. Consider intensity of training in terms of amplitude, balance, endurance, strength, complexity, etc.
• Not all exercises are salient/individualized.

functional movements as part of LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG important for long‐term carryover

Optimal Wellness Models
DENTAL MODEL
• See the Dentist
• Restore and improve oral health
• Preventative care
• Get regularly scheduled cleanings every 3‐12 months
• Brush and Floss Daily!
LSVT MODEL
• See your LSVT BIG/LOUD Certified PT, OT or SLP
• Restore and improve physical function and communication
• Prevent functional decline
• Get regularly scheduled tune‐ups every 3‐12 months
• Do your LSVT BIG or LOUD Exercises Daily!
Six‐months Post‐treatment
LSVT Clinician should check up with you at 6 months
Some patients may need
a check up earlier
You may need:
Tune‐up
Snapshot
Reassess performance on outcome measures, and compare to most recent discharge scores
Reassess
Reassess current level of calibration and need for “re‐scaling” of vocal loudness or bigness of movement (amplitude).
Reassess
Reassess performance and amplitude with daily exercises, functional tasks and communication and/or mobility in real life
Reassess
Tune‐Up Recommendations
• Establish frequency and number of visits based on assessment findings
• Range: 0 ‐16 visits! Average 2‐6 visits
• Continue to follow patients every 3‐12 months
• More Frequent (every 3‐4 months): Atypical PD, Cognitive Impairments, with changes to DBS
• Less frequent: IPD, Young, healthy, very motivated and adherent to HEP, good support, active
• Remember….PD is forever! You are an important partner on their journey!
Trang 10Tune‐ups are legitimate reimbursable “care” for people
with degenerative diseases.
Refer to Jimmo v. Sebelius
Is it worth the effort? YES!
Will there be days when clients don’t succeed? YES!
Do your best and know your clinician is there
to help!
