What is the expected outcome of addressing sensory deficits in LSVT BIG?

Addressing sensory deficits in LSVT BIG primarily leads to an improved perception of movement qualities. This is crucial for individuals with Parkinson's disease or other movement disorders, as they often struggle with recognizing or feeling their movements accurately. When sensory deficits are targeted through LSVT BIG techniques, patients become more aware of their movements, which can enhance their ability to execute and control these movements effectively.

Improving perception is essential because it lays the groundwork for better motor performance. By being more attuned to their movement qualities, individuals can not only enhance their execution of big, purposeful movements but also develop a greater sense of confidence and independence in their activities of daily living. This improvement in perception is fundamental to the overall goals of LSVT BIG, which aims to facilitate functional movement and improve quality of life for those with movement disorders.
