Singing may be good for Parkinson's patients? Elizabeth Stegman, an assistant professor of kinematics at Iowa State University, said it was possible.

Sturgimmer asked Parkinson's patients to attend singing therapy classes every week and do a series of vocal exercises and singing. In a paper published in the latest issue of British Medical Complementary Therapy, she wrote that the muscles used in singing are the same as those used to control swallowing and breathing, and the swallowing and breathing functions will be affected by Parkinson's disease, and singing can significantly promote the functions of these muscles, thus improving the swallowing and breathing functions.

The British "Daily Mail" quoted Steigman as saying on the 22nd: "We are not trying to make them sing better, but to help them strengthen the muscles that control swallowing and breathing." She said that the researchers are committed to teaching patients to cooperate with breathing and posture, and to make muscle movements more coordinated through vocal exercises, thus strengthening their functions. Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease, which mainly includes static tremor, bradykinesia, myotonia and postural gait disorder. The exact cause of this pathological change is not clear, and there is no effective treatment.
