  3. Service Description The West Herts Adult Rehabilitation Service is an interdisciplinary rehabilitation service for people with complex needs within west Hertfordshire. Our main focus is for people with neurological conditions. The service is based primarily between two sites: Jackets Field Rehab Unit in Abbots Langley and Holywell Rehab Unit at St.Albans City Hospital. Both sites offer an outpatients service and in addition, Holywell Unit offers six inpatient beds for 24 hour rehab programmes.

  4. The Approach The Adult Rehab Service provides an empowering and enabling environment, which aims to maximise independence and incorporates a range of therapies that can be tailored to each individuals needs. These needs can be addressed by: • Assessment • Intervention advice • Specialist teaching • Inpatient rehab • Outpatient programme with one professional or a team • Sign posting to other agencies • Specialist equipment, assessment and supply • Liaison and joint planning with Community Health and Adult Care Services. • Liaison and joint planning with Acute Hospital Services

  5. Parkinson’s disease is a slowly progressive disorder that affects movement, muscle control and balance. Part of the disease process develops as cells are destroyed in certain parts of the brain stem, particularly the crescent-shaped cell mass known as the substantia nigra. Nerve cells in the substantia nigra send out fibres to tissue located in both sides of the brain. There the cells release essential neurotransmitters that help movement and coordination.

  6. Basal ganglia dysfunction as seenin Parkinson’s disease leads to: • Impaired performance of well-learnt motor skills and movement sequences. • Difficulty performing two or more well-learnt tasks simultaneously. • Difficulty shifting motor and cognitive set. • Increased time needed for mental processing.

  7. The role of the basal ganglia in the performance of ADL’s • Pre-movement planning and preparation. • Initiation of movement • Sequencing and timing of sub-movements. • Shifting set.
