Chronic or Degenerative Conditions
Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and Parkinson's disease are some of the chronic or degenerative conditions.
Haronyd Melo Nunez, PT, Manager of Rehab Services at West Kendall Baptist Hospital, says these are conditions that unfortunately will progress and worsen over time, and for some of these there are periods when they are in remission and the idea is to try to take advantage of those moments to work on strengthening.
