Tiivistelmä
The Object of this work was to increase the theoretical knowledge about dopaminergic deficiencies occurring within the pathology of Parkinson disease, causing movement impairments. With the goal to present a well-defined training method to reduce movement impairments.
Firstly, the main defining aspects of the disease were presented, explained and categorized. A well-rounded understanding of the disease and its symptoms helps to follow and actively understand following parts. In which the theoretical knowledge and science behind neurological deficiencies especially dopamine was presented. Understanding the key parts of underlying mechanisms is a must to develop/ be aware of training methods and how they may affect development of the disease and its primarily/ secondary symptoms.
To conduct the systematic literature, review the author developed a screening protocol for the selected research. This gave the opportunity to rate and select the most suitable research out of the preliminary selected papers. Inclusion and exclusion criteria helped to define suitable papers.
Conclusions are that exercise, tailored protocols, and strategic timing, physiotherapy can enhance dopaminergic function, promote neuroplasticity, and potentially slow down disease progression. These outcomes suggest developing optimized exercises regimes that specifically target dopaminergic pathways. Results propose that dopamine plays a crucial role, and as so must be understood well by the therapist to implement the best possible program for patients. But the review has failed to conclude a direct connection to specific training methods.
