  1. Our presentation is on Ellis VT.
  2. Physical therapy.
  3. LCV Tae stands for Lee Silverman voice treatment.
  4. It's an evidence based speech in movement there be for
  5. patients with Parkinson's disease was research originally in 1987 and
  6. it's made up two different components.
  7. There's a big component and allowed component, so we'll go
  8. into each of those and what they are.
  9. This link here at the bottom is just a, um,
  10. more of a visual.
  11. Just a short video of an overview of what L
  12. S V.
  13. T is.
  14. The last component is part of LGBT that is performed
  15. by a speech therapist that is made to address any
  16. neuro impairments related to speech.
  17. So likely people with Parkinson's talk a little bit softer,
  18. and so it's to help them speak up a little
  19. bit louder.
  20. But in general, since it's not done by physical there
  21. bastes. We don't have a lot of information on this
  22. part, and so we're going to focus on the big
  23. component. The big is for physical.
  24. They're being occupational therapy programs.
  25. It's very structured.
  26. It is one hour sessions four times a week for
  27. 16 visits, so one month and it involves predetermined movements
  28. to it addresses key impairments in Parkinson's or other neurological
  29. populations. Some of these, including flexibility, motor planning and coordination,
  30. and its goal is to make movements more automatic.
  31. So if you have someone with Parkinson's disease, you may
  32. ask them to walk at a five out of 10
  33. speed, and they may think that there are 25 out
  34. of 10 but then they may actually be moving at
  35. a two out of 10.
  36. And so what this does is exaggerates those movements to
  37. help them get their normal back up to around five
  38. out of 10.
  39. And it involves both the walking program and predetermined exercises
  40. that they work through each week, um, to help them
  41. with their progress.
  42. So it was originally developed for Parkinson's patients.
  43. But the movements can be used in other neurological populations.
  44. There may be some carryover, but this program specifically is
  45. a standardized program.
  46. And so it was made just for Parkinson's patients, and
  47. it can be used for any stage of Parkinson's disease.
  48. But it's typically not used in the and stages, Um,
  49. but there are some modifications that can be used if
  50. someone is in a little bit of a higher stage
  51. or lower stage of Parkinson's.
  52. Results are typically seen pretty quickly, maybe in the next
  53. couple, in the first few couple of section sessions.
  54. But progress notes are done every 10 visits, and that's
  55. usually how they really monitor the progress.
  56. And you can use this type of therapy in any
  57. setting, whether inpatient or outpatient, ours, insurance and billing.
  58. It's billed under gait training nor muscular Riyadh and Terex
  59. codes, just like any other physical therapy treatment.
  60. And people may choose to have a refresher program after
  61. they've gone through their four weeks.
  62. If they still feel like they need some help, normally
  63. they're sent home with lists of exercises to continue with
  64. at home.
  65. But the limitation with this program is that you have
  66. to make it those four times a week for the
  67. four weeks.
  68. And so sometimes, especially if someone has other underlying medical
  69. conditions. They may not have that many visits covered by
  70. insurance, so it really depends on the patient and what
  71. type of insurance they have on how much therapy they
  72. can get.
