What is LSVT BIG?

The principles of LSVT LOUD were applied to limb movement and have been documented to be effective in patients’ diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. This protocol was developed specifically to address the patients’ unique movement impairments through many repetitions of core movements that are used in daily living. Initiating the LSVT BIG program early in disease progress has the greatest impact on the quality of life but can be started at any time with a referral to the program from a physician.
