Research Round Up: The Future of Neurology-Driven Palliative Care Programs
Janis Miyasaki, MD, Director of Movement Disorders Program, University of Alberta
Palliative care often gets confused with hospice care.
It is incorrectly associated with imminent death.
Palliative care programs consist of a team of experts
who provide symptom and pain management, spiritual
care and medical support to people with serious illnesses,
like Parkinson’s. People with PD can seek palliative
care at any stage and often find relief in symptom
management when they do.
“Supportive and palliative care for Parkinson’s disease,
and other neurologic disorders, is here to stay,”
Dr. Miyasaki said. She believes that the future of the
palliative care field will be shaped by the increase of
health practitioners who are earning dual certification in
palliative care and neurology. Due to the rate of people
aging, the potential population for supportive and
palliative care neurology services will increase.
The term palliative care is evolving. Due to a more
positive connotation, the terms comfort care, symptom
management or supportive care are becoming widely
used instead. While people who enroll in palliative care
programs can have a debilitating disease like cancer,
dementia, congestive heart failure and kidney disease,
these programs can also be well suited to help people
with PD.
While palliative care programs in the United States are
not neurology-driven, they exist to help people improve
physically, emotionally and spiritually. They can also be
beneficial for the caregiver. Most insurance plans cover
all or part of palliative care programs in the United
States.

Cleveland Rolls Out 1st Ever Moving Day®
By Laura Gasbarro, Moving Day® Cleveland Coordinator
Cleveland has seen so many firsts during 2016. The first
ever NBA championship, the first RNC convention and the
first ever Moving Day® Cleveland walk for PD.
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, June 18, more than
775 walkers converged on Wade Oval in University Circle
for Cleveland’s first version of Moving Day® which is the
National Parkinson Foundation’s (NPF) signature walk
event. It offers an exciting, empowering opportunity for
persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD), families, friends,
companies and organizations to raise significant funds
to support comprehensive patient care programs and
research. It’s a highly visible way to generate awareness
for PD.
Over 75 teams registered to participate and helped
Cleveland’s walk raise a whopping $146,237 to date.
This success could not have been possible without the
support of our national and local sponsors.
Thank you to Lundbeck, Orig3n, Right at Home, and US
WorldMeds. Locally, we were excited and privileged to
be supported by University Hospitals, The Evenor Fund,
Parker Hannifin, Baker Hostetler, Vista Springs, and UCB.
Thank you also to our honorary chair, Tim Tolman-player/
personnel advisor for the Cleveland Indians and to the
Cleveland Indians for their support. Many thanks to all of
the vendors who came out to support the event and our
media sponsors WVIZ, 107.3 The Wave and Northeast Ohio
Boomer and Beyond magazine.

happenings. The dynamic committee was led by Amy
Greenwell and NPF Ohio Board member Bill Perdan.
The committee’s original goal was $100,000. But that
feat was met 2 weeks before the event. We have now
exceeded the goal by almost $50,000. And it is never
too late to donate – go to www.movingdaycleveland.
org and make a final donation to this year’s Moving Day®
Cleveland walk. We are just about $3500 from reaching
the $150,000 mark! Monies raised from Moving Day’s
all across the country are used to support the free
services provided by NPF to all Parkinson patients, as
well as for local community grants for PD programming.
So your donation, in part, will support Northeast Ohio
PD programs! Moving Day® is an annual event, so we
will plan to see you all next year. This September, the
2017 Moving Day plans will be posted on the web site.
Remember to go to
www.movingdaycleveland.org
and register your team early!
If you have questions, comments,
would like to volunteer, or just
have a great idea, email Laura
Gasbarro, the Moving Day®
Cleveland coordinator at
[email protected].
She is already busy starting
to plan 2017!

The 7 needs of Caregivers - Part 5
Adapted from the Caring and Coping: A Caregiver’s Guide to PD. Order a free copy at www.parkinson.org/store
Over the course of seven newsletters, we will share seven important needs of caregivers and encourage you to
focus on managing your own needs in addition to the needs of your loved one.
•
•
•
•
Need #5: Your Relationship with the person with
Parkinson’s
Maintain open communication
When conversing, remove or turn off loud and
distracting noises
Express love and appreciation as well as concerns and
feelings of frustration. Don’t let those feelings
transform into resentments
Share special time together apart from caregiving tasks
•
•
Have forgetfulness and difficulty with retrieval of
learned information
Have embarrassment with motor changes that are
prohibiting them from forming words
Understanding some of those common changes is a start. From there
caregivers must be mindful of their communication style and adjust
as their loved one’s PD progresses.
Reviewing some cognitive and communication changes
that someone with PD may experience as the disease
progresses, your loved one might:
•
•
•
Have difficulty concentrating or expressing thoughts in
a timely manner
Have difficulty finding the “right” words
Have difficulty following a conversation with numerous
people in a room talking
The Thornville Backwoods Fest

Dance for Parkinson’s: Circulation, Stretching, and Strengthening
By Miriam King; Part Two of a Three Part Summer Series
Remember to always warm up before you start dance, or
any form of exercise! These dance-based exercises may
be done seated or standing and can be modified to fit
your own movement range. For more of a challenge, try
adding small weights to the “front swing” exercise, or
trying the “closed /open hand pulses” while in a lunge or
leg stretch. Don’t forget to put on some of your favorite
music to motivate you while you stay active.
This should provide a nice stretch in the back of your calf.
If the stretch is too much try shortening your stance and if
you do not feel anything try moving the back foot farther
behind you.
Closed/open hand pulses
The goal of this motion is to increase circulation in
the fingers, hands and arms. Although the pictures
demonstrate doing this exercise seated, if you’d like more
of a challenge try it while standing, walking, or even
paired with your favorite leg stretch!
With arms extended to the side, tighten your hands into
fists, then open your fingers as wide as possible. Repeat
this closed fist, open hand motion at a fast pace, as you
raise your arms above your head. Start with at least 20
quick fist/open hand pulses, but do as many repetitions as
you can without straining your hands or arms.
Front Swings
Standing with one hand resting on the back of a chair,
extend one arm up next to your ear. Take a deep inhale
and as you exhale, let the extended arm swing down next
to your hip. As your arm moves down allow your body to
move with it, bending the knees and curling over. Then
bring the arm back up and uncurl your body to return to
standing. This should create a swinging motion that is
a nice whole body warm up, and allows you to practice
shifting your weight and strengthening the legs. The goal
is to repeat these swings at least eight times, then turn
around to repeat on the other side.
Calf stretch
Working to keep your spine elongated, place one foot flat
on the ground behind you and place your hands on the
back of a chair. Paying careful attention to the position
of your hips, and the alignment of your knee and ankle,
bend the front leg and shift your weight forward as you
press your back heel into the ground. Then switch legs and
repeat on the other side, at least five times.
