Don’t let anyone try to tell you that lifting weights and doing traditional exercises in the gym isn’t functional!

Gaze stability exercises are a cornerstone of #vestibularrehabilitation and address blurred vision associated with motion. You can modify the exercise parameters in various ways, and this list is not exhaustive! *Register at v1st.co/Miriam for the next Journal Club*

A great 20 min HIIT workout for people with Parkinson’s. Great to have this so accessible & promote physical activity for #pwp

Interesting read and topical currently with previous Rec’s of #GET & #CBT showing very low evidence for #ME #CFS. Interested to see where research goes from here so we can fully inform our patients of the best #EBP to support them. mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-…

Inactivity with hospitalisation is disastrous for physical function in older adults. So much so that >30% of older adults leave hospital unable to do at least one activity of daily living they could do independently beforehand. But it doesn’t take much activity to offset these

We know exercise is important - but so is the dose. New systematic review - highlights that compliance with ACSM exercise recommendations shows greater impact on Parkinson's motor symptoms, mobility and QoL. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37530788/ ParkinsonsENEx Parkinson's Europe 🌷 Parkinson's UK

Read our new briefing paper on neuropsychological and psychological management of FND here! explore.bps.org.uk/content/report…

Looking forward to day 2 of the masterclass for functional neurological disorder is queens square. First up today learning about the role of neuropsychiatry in #FND

Use of GAD-7 to identify anxiety in #FND. Moderate-severe should be considered for medication management by GP. Important when considering socialising FND patients to prevent isolation & fear avoidant behaviours. Cats on the screen always enhance my attention 🐱 Neurorehab at Queen Square

24% patients at a memory clinic were found to have functional cognitive disorders. Hypothesis is that patient with higher education level are presenting with #FCD who are used to functioning at a high level.

Next up: functional seizures presented by Clare Nicholson. Management strategies include relaxation & grounding techniques; overlap with anxiety management. Focus on boosting endorphins & reducing stress hormones #FNDmasterclass

Pain & FND presented by Dhiren Shivji take home msg: address #polypharmacy, especially opioid overuse for pain as opioids can increase sensitivity to pain, decrease concentration and increase fatigue #FNDmasterclass

Example of a risk assessment in #FND for a patient with #NEAD to work towards their goals. Important to assess the risks and build rapport to push the boundaries & discuss risks with the patient. Graded exposure to busier environments is important #FNDmasterclass

Today is #InternationalDayofPeoplewithDisabilities Did you know that neuro conditions represent the most significant cause of disability worldwide? 🧠 #loveyourbrain
