Private lecturer Doctor Heiko Gaßner from the University Hospital Erlangen, together with the Erlangen regional group of the German Parkinson's Association, has developed a movement training concept for Parkinson's patients.

So that the patients can repeat their exercises after the rehab regardless of time and place, he and his team and Wolf-Jürgen Aßmus from the Erlangen regional group have packed the training including instructions into eight videos of about 30 minutes.

 This resulted in a unique video project that is second to none. We would like to thank Doctor Gassner very much for allowing us to present the videos as part of our mobility offensive in the Parkinson Journal.

As an introduction to the project and as a kind of "making of", I conducted an interview with Wolf-Jürgen Aßmus. Wolf Jürgen Aßmus, also suffering from Parkinson's disease, is a member of the dPV regional group in Erlangen and is responsible for the image, sound and editing of the videos.

I can only recommend everyone to use the exercises for their own "home training", because the following applies in particular:

Exercise is one of the few promising non-drug therapies for Parkinson's.
