Big and Loud (LSVT) services at NRC

Touro’s Outpatient Big and Loud (LSVT) service within the NRC program is a helpful tool to assist in treating patients with Parkinsons disease. In the “Big” portion of the program, patients participate in physical and occupational therapy to address movement impairments through specific exercises and functional activities. The “Loud” portion of the program involves patients participating in speech therapy treatments aimed at increasing the patient’s speaking volume through the use of specific techniques and equipment.
