Module 6 - Cognition and Non-Motor Symptoms

Module 6 focuses on Non-Motor Symptoms, which often can be as or more problematic than the more easily recognized motor Symptoms (tremor, rigidity, slow movement and posture/gait).  The graphic on the left is an excellent depiction of the large preponderance of Non-Motor Symptoms in PD patients, as well as the fact that they are "hidden" to the rest of the world.  We will discuss strategies to minimize these symptoms and when to seek additional help.  Also, we will check progress on our exercise goals - keep logging your workouts!  As always, we meet in the conference room in the MPF building at 1pm - see you then!
