Advice to people with Parkinson's in my clinic: How to manage running-induced dystonia
Exercise is an essential part of the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, certain symptoms can make exercise difficult. In this viewpoint, we describe an under recognized symptom called running-induced dystonia (RID), which can prevent people with Parkinson's from exercising in their preferred way. We summarize the existing literature and use three case studies to outline potential mechanisms, aggravating and relieving factors and both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies to get rid of RID.
