On page 5 of the Nov. 98 issue of the Rotarian mag. pub. by Rotary
International appears this article:
"Wally FIschmann and Henry Tseng of the Rotary Club of Westwood Village, CA,
USA, have produced an exercise video for people with Parkinson's, a
progressive, neuromuscular disease.
"The hour-long 'PLLUS (Parkinsonians Learning Lifelong Useful
Skills)...There's Exercise' features a class instructor and four people with
different stages of Parkinson's, including Wally (he was diagnosed with the
disease in 1983), doing shoulder shrugs. wrist and finger movements, calf
stretches, trunk twists, toe raises, and other flexibility exercises. THe
Rotarians say they made the video to reach more people afflicted with
Parkinson's, following the success of a similar fitness class--also called
PLLUS--they helped organize two-amd-a-half years ago at their local YMCA.
"Rotarians who want informaiton about the video or project can contact Anna
R. Panzazrino at the Westside Family YMCA, 11311 La Grange Avenue, Los
Angeles, CA 90025"
