Robert Smith (Haliegh's Case Study)

Robert Smith was a client of Haleigh's mom who has Parkinson's Disease. Robert had low muscle strength which affected his ability to do activities of daily living. The OT outpatient center implemented a four week therapy intervention called the LSVT Big Program.  The patient came four times a week and worked on gross motor movement and strength. Haleigh showed us videos of the client before and after the intervention; his improvement really was incredible. I'm surprised at how much the client was able to improve in just four weeks. It shows that a lot of work in a short amount of time can result in a lot of progress.
