People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) exhibit multi-system damaged. Medication mainly targets impairments related to dopaminergic lesions. Moreover, in later stages of the disease, medication becomes less effective. Rehabilitation therapy is believed that it can improve multiple functional disorders, including myotonia, bradykinesia, and postural gait abnormalities. It not only reduces the severity of non-motor symptoms and improves the quality of life in PD patients, but also delays the development of PD and improves the activity of daily life of patients. This article summarizes the progress of rehabilitation assessment and the therapy of PD.
