"Each person deserves to function as best as he or she is able"......Dr Geoffrey Leader and Lucille Leader
Maintaining comfortable movement as much as possible and bridging the 'OFF' period for people prescribed Levodopa (L-dopa), is the goal of good therapy and the aim of this book. It enables a personalised pharmaceutical program and time of administration to be prescribed, which most effectively ameliorates the 'OFF' periods.
The system described is based on easy to follow pecision monitoring, so that there is a logical bridging of the uncomfortable "OFF" period.
"This book is a MUST for people with Parkinson's, their Partners, Caregivers and Clinical Team to confidently make informed choices in order to optimise general function within the constraints of the illness."
