Interdisciplinary rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease.
The use of a multidisciplinary team in managing end-stage PD was described, emphasizing the use of a specifically designed rehabilitation program based on current concepts of basal ganglia function and malfunction in PD as a means of unifying the team members, providing them with a common knowledge base and enabling the team members to speak to the patients with a common language. This approach has enabled the multidisciplinary team to function in an interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary manner.
