Abstract
Although dopamine replacement therapy remains a core component of Parkinson's disease treatment, the onset of motor fluctuations and dyskinetic movements might require a range of medical and surgical approaches from a multidisciplinary team, and important new approaches in the delivery of dopamine replacement are becoming available. The more challenging, wide range of non-motor symptoms can also have a major impact on the quality of life of a patient with Parkinson's disease, and requires careful multidisciplinary management using evidence-based knowledge, as well as appropriately tailored strategies according to the individual patient's needs. Disease-modifying therapies are urgently needed to prevent the development of the most disabling refractory symptoms, including gait and balance difficulties, cognitive impairment and dementia, and speech and swallowing impairments. In the third paper in this Series, we present the latest evidence supporting the optimal treatment of Parkinson's disease, and describe an expert approach to many aspects of treatment choice where an evidence base is insufficient.

Abstract
There is compelling evidence that exercise must be part of main line therapy for people with Parkinson's disease. In this viewpoint, we outline the four key components of exercise: aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, flexibility exercise, and neuromotor exercises (posture, gait, balance, and agility) that can improve both motor and non-motor symptoms of the disease and, in the case of aerobic exercise, may delay the disease. We outline guidelines on how to change and optimize the exercise prescription at different stages of the disease.
