Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the potential influence of Traditional Chinese Medicine's (TCM) diagnostic concepts-"Shaoyang governs bones" and "Taiyang governs tendons" -on physical therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). By analyzing both motor and non-motor symptoms in PD patients, this paper integrates TCM theories with modern rehabilitation practices to demonstrate the therapeutic value of meridian theory in PD treatment. Specifically, it focuses on optimizing blood and Qi circulation through regulating the GALLBLADDER MERIDIAN and BLADDER MERIDIAN to improve motor dysfunction. Additionally, the study reviews the application of Daoyin techniques in PD rehabilitation, offering innovative perspectives and methodologies for integrating TCM and Western medicine in Parkinson's disease recovery.
