1. Introduce Case

1. Patient information, DE-IDENTIFIED (no name, address,birthday). You may give them an alternate name.  Infoshould include age, height, wt., BMI, and basic disease/pathologyinformation (to be explained in #2)
   • The patient’s name is Sandra. She is in 73 years old and sheweighs 140 lbs. She is diagnosed with Alien Limb Syndrome which isa diagnostic feature of Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD).

   • Testing was performed in the doctor’s office. The testsperformed on her are as follows:

      a.Case study with 6 different movement disorder specialists acrossthe state.

2. B. Exercise Testing – what tests would you conduct? Why?Special concerns?
   • Berg balance test, timed up & go test and functional reachtest. I would conduct Berg balance test to objectively determinethe patient’s ability or inability to safely balance during aseries of predetermined tasks. I would conduct timed up & go tomeasure the time and how safely the patient can move around. Iwould conduct functional reach test to assess ascertaining dynamicbalance in one simple task.

3. What types of treatment did/would your patientundergo?  What are the physical effects of this treatmentthat could/did affect your exercise prescription?
   • Rock Steady Boxing, non-contact high intensity, speech therapy,physical therapy and, occupational therapy. The fact that if theright arm would stop functioning, balance training would beaffected a lot.
