Decrease Leg Tremors For Parkinson’s Disease | Occupational Therapy

Do you have Parkinson’s disease and or parkinsons like symptoms? And do you have leg tremors and difficulty moving your legs? In this video, we’re going to do exercises to hopefully decrease leg tremors and help you walk better. When you have Parkinson’s disease, you might have leg tremors and difficulty initiating your steps to walk. This will also result in difficulty in doing your self-care safely. Occupational therapy would usually make a treatment plan to improve your movements and to improve the size and make your movements more automatice.

The exercises included in this video are:

1. Knee raises
2. Front kicks
3. Ankle pumps
4. Side steps
5. Front to back steps

The last exercise will be walking to test if your movements and steps are easier and more automatic. Always remember to do the large movements and even though you seem to feel that your steps are of regular size, try to take those bigger steps. In time your steps will be more natural and more automatic.
