What is the desired outcome when a patient incorporates increased amplitude into their daily life?

The desired outcome when a patient incorporates increased amplitude into their daily life is fundamentally about enhancing their functional movements and overall quality of life. While improved cognitive understanding of movement necessity can certainly be beneficial, the emphasis of LSVT BIG therapy is primarily on enabling patients to use larger movements effectively. Increased amplitude in movement helps to retrain the brain and body, promoting better motor control and coordination.

This larger amplitude leads to improved physical function, allowing patients to perform tasks with more ease and efficiency. As patients practice and integrate these larger movements into their daily routines, they can also experience increased confidence in their abilities (which is one of the other options) and a reduced dependency on others for assistance. Overall, the approach encourages a holistic improvement in the patient's daily activities, enhancing both physical capacity and emotional well-being.
