By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – While you may know where you can find an animal for adoption near you, you may not be aware of how many choices you really have.
Volunteers at local shelters and rescues confirm that what you see may not be what you get, in terms of numbers. When it comes down to it, state statistics on the number of adoptable animals leave a lot to
be desired. Local animal shelters and organizations are taking part in a nationwide initiative to provide accurate data on rescue animals. (Animals - See Page 4)
Where To Donate For The Holiday Season By Kimberly Bosco With the holiday season upon us, it would be prudent to know when and where you can donate food, clothing, or toys for those in need all around the area. Whether it is your local food bank or a county organization, there is no shortage of holiday donation drives working to get the less fortunate through the winter months. Here is a list of some of the major drives going on throughout Ocean County and Monmouth County towns.
On a cou nt y scale, Ocean County residents can look to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department for their annual holiday Toy Drive. The OCSD puts on this drive each year with help from the Ocean County Chiefs (Donate - See Page 5)

Environmental Groups: State Should Review Oyster Creek Sale
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – With the impending license transfer of the Oyster Creek Generating Station to Holtec International Inc., further review is being urged by both local and state organizations. The Clean Water Action campaign is requesting that the state attorney general further review the proposed transfer of the license and multi-million dollar decommissioning fund. Members of the NJ Sierra Club are also requesting of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) a public hearing on the license transfer. It was announced earlier this year that Exelon Generation, owner of the plant, would be transferring the license of Oyster Creek over to purchaser Holtec International, a Camden-based dry cask storage manufacturer. The NRC is currently reviewing the terms of the sale to Holtec; a decision is expected to be made by May 2019. However, in the meantime, Clean Water Action New Jersey is requesting that the Attorney General review the proposed license transfer after discovering that Holtec has partnered “with a Canadian energy giant reportedly facing corruption charges in that country,” according to a press release. The Canadian company, SNC Lavalin, is reportedly facing with fraud and corruption charges. If the transfer is approved, Holtec would not only be taking over the plant but also the $982 million decommissioning fund as well as the decommissioning timeline, according to Clean Water Action. This also means that the new owner would gain access to multi-million dollar fund, nuclear materials and more than a million pounds (Oyster Creek - See Page 17)

Animals:
Continued From Page 1 As Friends of the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter (FOSOCAS) explains it, the way the state of New Jersey defi nes “rescues” leaves them out of the state-wide census for shelter animals. Maureen Flaherty of the FOSOCAS, a nonprofit organization that aids the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter, stated that while this is still completely lawful, these definitions skew the true data, showing fewer animals up for adoption than truly exist. “Rescue animals are those held by an animal rescue organization in an animal rescue facility…Stray and free roaming animals are captured by animal control officers and impounded in a licensed impoundment facility,” stated Colin Campbell, State Public Health Veterinarian of the State Department of Health. The state has separate definitions for an animal rescue facility and a shelter, defining a shelter as “any establishment where dogs or other animals are received, housed and distributed,” according to Campbell. The state Department of Health categorizes stray animals that are taken in, into four areas: impounded, adopted, redeemed and euthanized. This can be found in the departments yearly Infectious and Zoonotic Disease Program Stray Animal Intake and Disposition Survey. Flaherty explained that this is how the state misses some adoptable animals in creating
the census. “Every animal that enters a public shelter in New Jersey is accounted for. They will either be listed as adopted, reclaimed, euthanized or dead on arrival…If charities are viewed under the law as persons when a charity/rescue takes an animal from the shelter the animal is considered adopted,” Flaherty said. According to Campbell, rescues and foster homes are usually private establishments where animals are temporarily housed while waiting for long-term adoption. “As such, the numbers of dogs held in private homes for adoption (rescues and fosters) is unknown,” he added. To fix this misconception and provide an accurate count of all animals, strays, rescues, and the like, some of our local Ocean County rescue organizations have taken part in a national campaign called Shelter Animals Count. “What shelter animals Count’s attempts to do is to discriminate from animals that are adopted by people and go to loving homes and animals that are rescued from shelters and other situations and still in need of homes,” she added. “While great progress has been made, accurate and comprehensive nation-wide data does not exist. It’s precisely this data that will guide good decision-making, and help us save thousands of sheltered animals’ lives. The numbers really do count,” stated the Shelter Animals Count website. Shelter Animals Count works with shelters
all over the country to collect data to create and share a national database of sheltered animal statistics. The accurate data helps to save more animal lives and prevent animal homelessness, according to the organization. Sara Kent of Shelter Animals Count explained that the collaboration of the organizations reporting data transparently allows the organization to offer many benefits, including: Providing shelters and rescues with a wealth of information on national trends that may affect their organizations. Providing the ability to view data from similar organizations with similar demographics, climate, geography, or other variables. Permitting researchers to perform the kind of analysis that individual organizations request and would otherwise need to fund. Allowing for measurement of the impact of shelter and rescue best practices. “The obvious conclusion is that the number of animals that are in loving homes for the remainder of their lives is over reported by the state,” concluded Flaherty. Local shelters participate in the database including Mama’s Gona Rescue of Tuckerton, Big East Akita Rescue of Toms River, Shiba Rescue of New Jersey of Toms River, Jersey Shore Animal Shelter of Brick, Tails of Hope in Oakhurst, and All Fur Love Animal Rescue in Freehold, among others. Kent noted that the organization works with eight shelters total between Ocean and Monmouth Counties.
“Of the nearly 3,000 organizations who reported data monthly for 2017 to Shelter Animals Count, approximately half were rescue organizations. In 2017, they reported a total intake of 355,194 cats and dogs,” said Kent. Campbell added that the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) requests, but does not mandate, that licensed shelters and pounds complete a survey each year on the number of dogs and cats they house. However, not all relay the information to the department, he added. If you wish to take the charge yourself and look into adopting, visit one of these local shelters working on making shelter animals count: • Mama’s Gona Rescue: mamasgonarescue.com/ • Big East Akita Rescue: bigeastakitarescue.org/ • Shiba Rescue: shibarescuenj.org/ • Jersey Shore Animal Rescue: jerseyshoreanimalcenter.org/ • Tails of Hope: tailsofhopenj.com/ • All Fur Love Animal Rescue: allfurlove. org/ County shelters are located at: • Northern Ocean County Animal Facility, 615 Freemont Avenue, Jackson • Southern Ocean County Animal Facility, 360 Haywood Road, Manahawkin Web: ochd.org/animal-shelters-adoptions/. • Monmouth County SPCA,260 Wall Street, Eatontown.

THE GUT-RETINA AXIS
While it’s too soon to draw clear-cut conclusions, researchers believe that a “lowglycemic diet” (which helps reduce blood sugar levels, assists with weight loss, and lowers the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes) may be associated with changes in gut bacteria that improve the health of the retina. This would be important news for anyone who wants to prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which alters the central portion of the retina (macula). According to laboratory research, a low-glycemic diet (relatively rich in slowly digested whole grains) proved to be more effective in reducing changes in the retina that are characteristic of AMD than a high-glycemic diet (containing rapidly digested carbohydrates). This link is sure to be explored further. Spinach and kale are full of plant pigments that can help stem the development of macular degeneration and cataracts. Broccoli, peas, and avocados are also good sources of this powerful antioxidant duo. At our office you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

LIFS To Screen Monarch Butterfly Documentary, The Guardians
SHIP BOTTOM – The Lighthouse International Film Society will screen documentary film The Guardians October 13, 2019, 7 p.m., Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Station 2006 Central Avenue. A visually dazzling meditation on the balance between human and nature, The Guardians poetically interweaves the lives of the threatened monarch butterfly with an indigenous community fighting to restore the forest they nearly destroyed. Migrating 3,000 miles to hibernate in towering Oyamels, the monarch population faces collapse. When the directors started filming The Guardians in 2014, the monarch population hit an all-time record low of 33 million, down from 1 billion just twenty years prior. In the valley below, the people of Donaciano Ojeda struggle to support their families in their ancestral lands now part of the protected Monarch Butterfly
Biosphere Reserve. Santos, a charismatic avocado farmer and Aristeo, a philosophical tree caretaker are the storytellers of the community as they confront internal divisions, illegal loggers and their own mortality. Shot over three years, this cinematic journey through the butterfly dense mountaintops of Michoacan tells an intimate story of a unique community at the front lines of conservation. The film will be followed by Q& A with Garden Club’s Theresa Hagan and artist and master Monarch advocate Judith Johnson. You can learn more about the film, watch a trailer and purchase tickets at lighthousefilmfestival.org. Admission is $5 and free for LIFS members and students. This event is co-sponsored by The Garden Club, The Bay Avenue Plant Company, and The Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Department. This event is open to the public.

Lacey Seniors May Get Lockboxes For Emergencies
By Jennifer Peacock LACEY – Some residents may be able to receive a secure lockbox through the police’s Lacey Lock Box program. The program was started by resident Erin Foreman in March 2017 as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award, and continues today. The program is open to Lacey residents, ages 55 and older, who live alone and suffer from potentially incapacitating medical conditions. A free lock box is installed on the home’s exterior and is accessible only to the Lacey
Township Police Department, and not residents or others. The key inside the lock box can be accessed only by police in emergencies or well-being checks. The use of a lock box can prevent costly property damage from forced entry, as well as reduce delays in getting to the resident inside. The lock boxes are their installation are provided by J. Lorton and Company, located at 421 South Main St. in Forked River. For eligibility requirements and more information, visit laceypd.org or contact Lt. Paul Sullivan Jr. at 609-693-6636, ext. 2577.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office is recognizing Veterans Day, led by Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer. “On this day, we don’t only celebrate our freedom and our democracy but also the incredible sacrifices made to achieve them,” Billhimer said. “Veterans Day is a reminder that the blessings we often take for granted are the result of the bravery and selflessness of our servicemen and women. “For many, service to our country comes at a great personal cost. Because of the risks, the sacrifices and the depravation, no one leaves the military unchanged. For some, there are physical injuries. For others, the wounds are invisible but they are as painful and as real.” Billhimer is carrying on the program developed in 2016, the Veteran’s Diversionary Program. Knowing the sacrifice made by men and women in the service, the OCPO developed the program, which offers veterans who face criminal charges an alternative to criminal prosecution.

(he lost a leg in Afghanistan), is the point person for those entering the program. Mantoloking Police Lieutenant John Barcus (United States Marines), Sheriff’s Officer Curtis Nagel (United States Marines), Lacey Police Sergeant Robert Surtees (United States Marines), and Jackson Police Officer John Roth (United States Marines) also work in the program. Billhimer said the success of the program wouldn’t be possible without them as well as Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Agent Kate Pennypacker, Nurse Dominic Sofield (United States Army) and Lindsey Gomez (United States Army). The program is specifically designed for veterans suffering from mental illnesses and post-traumatic stress disorder arising from their service. They can voluntarily enter the program, and upon acceptance, are offered one-on-one mentoring by fellow veterans. Together, they work to address any underlying issues associated with the criminal charges. The program gained statewide attention, and was signed into legislation in December 2017 to create a New Jersey Veteran’s Diversion Program. “When their nation called, they answered. For this, we are eternally grateful,” Billhimer said.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Health Dept. Urges You To Quit Smoking During Lung Cancer Awareness Month
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Brian Lippai, Ocean County Health Department Public Information Officer, recalls how smoking has affected his life during this year’s Lung Cancer Awareness month. “As a young child, I can remember begging my father to please stop smoking. With a gentle smile he would respond with his typical response, ‘Someday, Brian, someday.’ Unfortunately, he never did quit and my father died from lung cancer at age 69 after a lifelong habit of smoking cigarettes. That’s why every November I look forward to my modest role as the Ocean County Health Department Public Information Officer and joining the army of anti-smoking crusaders that urge the 38 million smokers in the United States to quit!” stated Lippai. The Ocean County Health Department is recognizing November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month and the week of November 15 as the American Cancer Association’s (ACA) Great American Smoke Out event. Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, stated “Despite making great strides, there is still work to be done. The numbers tell us that smokers have decreased from 42% in 1965 to less than 15% in 2016. However, the American Cancer Society estimates about 154,000 deaths in 2018 from lung cancer. That’s still too many.” Lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death and the second most common
cancer. Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Officer reminds everyone about the dangers of secondhand smoke. “It’s important to remind smokers that they aren’t only endangering their own lives but others as well. An alarming 73,000 people succumbed to cancer from secondhand smoke in the U.S between 2005 and 2009,” said Regenye. Regenye advises smokers to seek support when quitting. “Beating nicotine addiction is a personal quest with a variety of resources available to offer guidance and support,” he added. The Ocean County Health Department provides a list of tips by the American Lung Association to help smokers kick the habit: • Eliminate triggers - Thoroughly clean your house and car, removing all smoking devices and reminders. • Give it time - Try to make it 3 months. Understand that slip up are okay • Break the habitual routine - Start healthy habits • Keep trying - Every smoker can quit. It may take time or a lot of practice, but you do have the power to break the addiction.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
My Hearing Is Prett y Good, Except When I Go To The Movies I often hear the comment, “I can’t appreciate going to the movies because I am missing the punch line.” Similar complaints are reiterated when watching TV, listening to the radio or in noisy restaurant environments. These environments have something in common; they all present the listener with a mechanical reproduction of sound and utilize various techniques that can make understanding difficult with hearing loss. Movie theaters employ loudness expansion. With expansion, loud sounds are louder than normal. This is exactly the opposite of what people with hearing loss need. Specifically, hearing impaired folks need loudness compression (reduced amplification of loud sounds). It is ridiculous that most movie theaters insist on playing sound tracks so loud even though everybody complains about it. Moreover, filmmakers often use multiple microphones to record speech
from several people at the same time. Add background music to this situation and you have the recipe for a difficult listening environment. Whether you are listening to the radio, telephone, TV or watching movies, the quality of sound and the intelligibility of speech has been recorded, processed, transmitted and amplified. For people with hearing loss, this difference is enough to make understanding a real challenge. I encourage anybody who is having difficulty listening in these environments to utilize the technology that is available to improve the sound quality. For example, most movie theaters “are wired for sound,” and allow you to utilize their own personal listening headphones (which are typically infra red technology). In most cases, this will dramatically improve your ability to understand speech, which is our common goal.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!
Local Pediatrician Suspended After Illegally Distributing Prescription Drugs
By Jennifer Peacock NEWARK – An Ocean Township pediatric gastroenterologist was suspended from practice indefinitely after he was arrested in Toms River in July and charged with distributing a controlled dangerous substance. Dr. Martin D. Fried, who operates Healthy Days LLC in Ocean, appeared in U.S. District Court Thursday to face new charges of attempting to distribute oxycodone, Adderall, and Xanax “outside the usual course of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose,” New Jersey State Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said. Those charges were filed by the U.S. Attorney Office in the District of New Jersey. The doctor was arrested outside a Walgreens by Toms River Police on July 20, 2018. Two of his patients, to whom he allegedly prescribed medically unnecessary prescriptions, were also arrested. Fried voluntarily surrendered his DEA registration on July 31, which allowed him to prescribe CDS. He also voluntarily
informed the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners that he ceased practicing medicine. Fried has agreed to an indefinite suspension of his medical license, pending a future demonstration of his fitness to practice, and further action by the Board, under the terms of a consent order. Under that same order, Fried must participate in a professional assistance treatment program before he can be reinstated. “We need doctors working with us, not against us, in the fight to end New Jersey’s opioid epidemic,” Grewal said. “As these actions demonstrate, we will continue to crack down on doctors who flout prescribing laws and fuel the opioid health crisis by indiscriminately dispensing pain medications that lead to addiction.” Patients who believe that they have been treated by a licensed health care professional in an inappropriate manner can file an online complaint with the State Division of Consumer Affairs by visiting its website or by calling 800-242-5846 or 973-504- 6200.

3 Convincing Reasons To Eat More Oatmeal
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Most people conjure up an image in their mind about eating oatmeal. It’s usually the vision of someone over the age of 60, seeking the joys of regularity. But it should not be that cliche. If you’re interested in a good meal that is packed with vitamins and minerals, and even some cancer-fighting phytonutrients, oatmeal is top of the list. Oatmeal can help suppor t you in your quest to fight diabetes, obesity and colon problems. Here are 3 really convincing reasons to start eating oatmeal. 1. Want prote c t ion f rom ger ms or cancer? Oats are a very healthy source of carbs, fat, protein, and fiber. The most famous fiber of all is “beta glucan,” a natural immunomodulator. It makes sure that your immune system’s radar detector is on alert, thereby placing your fighter cells on guard in case home-invaders show up. The most common attackers are bacteria, viruses and rogue cells that cause cancer. Scientists have found evidence that it can stimulate the growth of new stem cells too. 2. Feeling Tired or Anemic? Oats contain many vitamins and minerals, especially iron. Just one cup of dried oats cont ains 26% of the Recommended Daily Allowance for iron. Obviously, you want to cook the oats. What’s nice about this is that iron
supplements can be very hard on your gastrointestinal tract, and can cause stool discoloration, cramps, constipation and severe nausea or vomiting. So to have a delicious meal and know that you’re getting much needed iron can be a blessing. 3. Need to work on blood sugar or cholesterol? It is the soluble fiber in oatmeal which can slow down the rate at which carbs are broken down and digested. This stabilizes your blood sugar, and prevents crazy peaks and troughs. Because it keeps blood sugar stable, oatmeal is theoretically great at preventi ng complications f rom diabetes or other chronic illnesses. It literally improves insulin resistance. I am definitely an oatmeal fan if you haven’t deduced that by now. I think I make the best too! Oatmeal lovers rarely go on statins too! Eating oatmeal even twice a week can have an immediate impact on longevity. Researchers have stated that no matter when you begin upping your intake of dietary fiber, the benefits to your health are virtually immediate. If you’d like my delicious recipe for oatmeal, as well as a longer version of my article, sign up for my free newslet ter at su z ycohen .com a nd I’ll email it to you. You’ll also get a downloadable copy of my ebook, Spices That Heal.

Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note an-
other critical benefit of the Workers Michael J. Deem Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from colle c t io n s l aw s u it s when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

Oyster Creek:
Continued From Page 1 of highly radioactive nuclear waste. According to Janet Tauro, Clean Water Action, NJ Board Chair, “This is a state and national security issue…Every precaution must be taken to ensure that those nuclear materials do not fall into the wrong hands.” Although the Attorney General cannot sway or alter the outcome of the proposed transfer, further review into the matter could “raise any red flags if public safety is at risk” according to Clean Water Action. Jersey Shore Online previously reported that Holtec also plans on reducing the decommissioning timeline significantly, compared to the one outlined by Exelon and the NRC. The company aimed to complete the process in nearly half the time of the NRC’s 60-year plan. “Holtec plans on using a “proto-prompt” technology approved by the NRC several years ago that allows for a quicker time

frame for emptying highly radioactive fuel pools,” stated Clean Water Action in the release. “The company has proposed transporting the casks containing the highly radioactive waste across the country to an interim-storage facility in New Mexico that would also be owned and operated by Holtec. That facility is pending NRC approval.” “This could be the best deal ever, or not,” stated Tauro. “Its complexity demands intense scrutiny to ensure public safety and not corporate gain.” Members of the NJ Sierra Club agree with this, requesting that the NRC set up a public hearing that would allow for the public’s questions to be answered regarding the license transfer, transparency, cost, liability and dry cask storage technology. “We don’t know enough about Holtec’s new dry cask storage design,” stated Jeff Tittel of the NJ Sierra Club. There is no word on whether a date for a public hearing has been approved or set.

Dear Joel You’re Not Invisible – You’re On Vacation
Dear Joel, My wife and I have a near perfect marriage. We enjoy the same things and do almost everything together, except when her mother visits. She’s a nice enough lady, but when she’s here it’s like I don’t even exist. The Invisible Man in Toms River Dear Invisible, You folks sound like a super family.

LSVT BIG: Exaggerated Movements for Parkinson’s Symptom Relief By: Lindsay Walicky, DPT
A
pproximately one million Americans are currently living with Parkinson’s disease. Men are one and a half times more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) than women. Parkinson’s disease is classified as a movement disorder. Patients with PD lack dopamine, which is a central nervous system (CNS) chemical derived from the substantia nigra portion of the brain. Dopamine works to control smooth movement, which is why patients with PD lack controlled and smooth pursuits of their movements. The most common symptoms of PD can include: tremors, rigidity (stiffness in their trunk/body), postural instability, and balance deficits. Other symptoms that can occur are masked facial expressions and soft speech or slurring.
the protocol consisting of 16, hour long sessions with a certified Physical or Occupational Therapist geared towards improving the symptoms of PD. This program consists of seated and standing exercises including movements that challenge balance, trunk control, rotations and limb mobility. Goals are set specifically for each patient throughout the program focusing on the activities of daily living (ADL’s) and the functional limitations patients with PD have. These can include simple things like getting in and out of the car or bed, rising from the couch, or reaching on a high shelf. During each session the therapist will work on these issues as well as walking and balance. A detailed home exercise program (HEP) will also be provided for each patient to assist with carry-over post-therapy session.
The cause of PD is unknown and currently there is no cure; however, treatments to control the symptoms are available. Current treatment options include: dopamine replacement medications, the most common being Sinemet and/or the more radical treatment being neurosurgical intervention in which a deep brain stimulator is implanted in the patient’s brain. The stimulator is placed in the location from which the symptoms originate to modify the brain activity.
Patients with PD have an abnormal perception of normal movement sizes. Small steps, decreased body rotation and arm swing with shuffling steps are typical. The LSVT BIG exercises are specific to address these deficits. The intensity of this program enhances the carry-over to change the normal movements, not just during the therapy sessions but throughout the patient’s daily lives.
Many research studies are currently being conducted to assist with management, diagnosis and cause, including the LSVT BIG exercise program. Of that research, LSVT BIG results have shown that exercise in addition to or in lieu of dopamine replacement medication or neurosurgical intervention can slow disease progression and help to manage current symptoms. Patient case studies have proven significant effectiveness of these specified movements geared towards the impairments associated with PD. LSVT is a program that has been studied for many years originally being used as a speech program implemented by speech therapists (LSVT LOUD). LSVT BIG is a specific exercise program;
The LSVT BIG program works because the exercises specifically target the movement deficits patients with PD are affected with. The program is called “BIG” because the exercises require actual big movements, using large steps with the legs and reaching and swinging movements of the arms and upper body. These movements assist with increasing the patient’s mobility as well as working on their balance, causing them to shift their weight forward, backwards and to both sides. The exercises can be modified for different physical functioning levels to perform with the therapist in the safest manner. The repetition of these exercises and the consistency of this program work to enhance the long-term effects from the therapy clinic to home and ultimately life. Research has shown significant improvements in the brain through these studies. Positive
changes in image results before and after completing this program have been found. There is no cure for PD, but through the LSVT BIG program the symptoms can be managed. There are multiple stages of PD, and catching patient’s at the optimal stage can highly assist with the symptom recovery process leading to a better outcome and quality of life for the patient and family. No matter what stage of disease progression a patient with PD is in, increasing the amount of daily activity and participating in a regular exercise program can improve the quality of life and movements. If you would like to know if LSVT BIG is right for you or a loved one, contact your doctor and mention the LSVT BIG program at All-Care Physical Therapy Center.
