Extract

Rehabilitation can be described either as a set of technologies, akin to drug treatment, or as a person-centered process. We will use both frames of reference in this review. Our orientation in Part 1 will be technological, with initial consideration of the pathophysiology of parkinsonian impairments, before examining the rationale for non-drug interventions in Parkinson's disease (PD). In Part 2 we describe how the process of rehabilitation can be applied in a progressive disease such as PD.
