In addition to improving amplitude of movement used in everyday function, patients can expect improvements in all of the following except:

In addition to improving amplitude of movement used in everyday function, patients can expect improvements in all of the following except:

• A. Balance
• B. Endurance
• C. Dyskinesia
• D. Trunk rotations

Answer: (C)

The expectation that patients will improve their amplitude of movement is a key component of LSVT BIG therapy, which focuses on larger movements to enhance function in daily activities. While the therapy leads to enhancements in various areas relevant to mobility and function, improvements in dyskinesia are not typically among the expected outcomes. Dyskinesia refers to involuntary movements that can be especially common in conditions such as Parkinson's disease. LSVT BIG is primarily designed to address issues related to movement amplitude and functional mobility rather than the specific management of dyskinesia. Therefore, while patients may achieve higher amplitude, improved balance, and increased trunk rotation as part of their functional improvement, changes in dyskinesia may require different therapeutic approaches or are not directly targeted by LSVT BIG interventions. In contrast, improvements in balance and endurance are likely to result from the increased movements and physical activity encouraged through the program. Trunk rotations are also an important part of functional movement and may improve with the larger amplitude movements promoted by LSVT BIG.
