Abstrakt: Lee Silverman Voice Treatment® BIG (LSVT® BIG) is widely used to improve motor symptoms in patients with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease (PD). To describe the effect of LSVT® BIG on the motor symptoms of a patient with severe PD. A 77-year-old woman who was diagnosed with PD received a 4-week LSVT® BIG program under the supervision of certified LSVT® BIG physical therapists. Her disease severity was classified as Hoehn and Yahr stage 4. The unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) part 3, 10-m walk test (10MWT), timed up-and-go test (TUG), Berg balance scale (BBS), and 30-s chair stand test (30-s CST) were used for assessment before and after intervention. The UPDRS part 3, 10MWT, TUG, BBS, and 30-s CST improved after intervention (33 to 26, 0.51 to 0.69 m/s, 38.1 to 23.2 seconds, 11 to 34, and 3 to 9 times, respectively). All improvements exceeded the Minimal Clinically Important Difference or Minimal Detectable Change values (2.5, 0.16 m/s, 3.5 seconds, 5, and 3 times, respectively). These results indicated that LSVT® BIG appears to have improved motor symptoms in a patient with severe PD. Further studies, ideally randomized controlled trials, are needed to confirm these findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
