Hi @sherryallen

Until your husband sees a speech therapist, you might consider looking into some YouTube videos from Beyond High C. A website dedicated to speech exercises for stroke and/or PD patients. Here is a link to those videos.

I have PD, but also have a paralyzed vocal cord, so I really find these videos to be most helpful when used on a regular basis.

As @mamasmeeve mentioned, often the local Y will have programs for folks with PD. In Ann Arbor, Michigan, the program is called Pedaling for PD. It is a group exercise class on a stationary bike. https://www.annarborymca.org/nutrition-wellness/pedaling-for-parkinsons/. Since cycling never has been a favorite exercise of mine, I've never tried it, but many friends from a PD support group have found it very helpful. My favorite exercise has been Dancing for PD, (https://markmorrisdancegroup.org/community/pd/dance-for-pd/).

You might also look into Rock Steady Boxing, a program for people with PD. Here is a link to their programs, https://www.rocksteadyboxing.org/.

There are a lot of choices. Finding a program that he enjoys will help him to incorporate movement on a regular basis.

On Connect, we also have a discussion group that deals with stroke. Here is a link to that group: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/cerebrovascular-diseases/

I look forward to hearing from you as you and your husband continue to work through the recovery process. Will you continue to post as you have questions or concerns?
