What is Parkinson’s disease ?
Let’s start with some basics . In the united states ,it’s estimated that anywhere from 600 000 to 1 million people and more are living with Parkinson’s .and at least 6 000 are diagnosed each year. This makes PD , one of the most common brain diseases ), second only to Alzheimer’s , age increase of risk of Parkinson’s ,and average age of diagnosis is 60 , so as our population continues growth get older, and more people are likely to experience PD ,in fact ,people tends to think of Parkinson’s as an old person disease ,but some person get PD at 40 or even younger , some disease can be diagnosed with a lab test ,cholesterol level ,and (blood pressure ) measures to evaluate for heart disease for example .
We need to test like that in Parkinson, but they don’t exist yet ,doctors diagnosed Parkinson by completing medical history and physical examination , they look for two and three classical motor symptoms which are resting tremor . Stiffness and slowness of movements .
