摘要
The progressive nature of Parkinson's disease and its associated motor and non-motor symptoms can lead to various complications when patients experience immobilization, exacerbating existing motor impairments and potentially giving rise to secondary health issues.The variability, progression, and management of tremors in PD can be challenging.Due to low bone mass density, patients with Parkinson's disease are susceptible to vitamin D deficiency.The lack of movement can worsen muscle rigidity and stiffness, leading to contractures and a decreased range of motion in joints.Additionally, immobility may contribute to cardiovascular deconditioning, orthostatic hypotension, and an increased risk of pressure ulcers due to prolonged pressure on specific areas of the body.In this case report, we hereby report a case of Parkinson's disease further complicated by sinus discharge from the ulcer.This case report describes the putative effects of low-level laser therapy on discharging sinus from the wound secondary to a diabetic ulcer in idiopathic Parkinson's disease.Achieving an ideal level of functional independence and preventing problems associated with extended immobility are essential goals of structured physical therapy postoperative care.This may assist the patient in returning to their pre-injury position more quickly.Our patient underwent several interventions for wound healing, including proprioception training, tremor management, improving dynamic trunk balance, and pain control measures.Clinical outcome measures like the Barthel Index, lower extremity functional scale, and Visual-Analog Scale were used to assess the progress of the patient.Managing these interconnected conditions requires a multi-disciplinary approach.
