Parkinson's Care

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive movement disorder marked by tremors, rigidity, slow movements (bradykinesia) and posture instability. It occurs when cells in one of the movement-control centers of the brain begins to die for unknown reasons. PD was first noted by British physician James Parkinson in the early 1800s.

The key signs of Parkinson's disease are:

• Tremor (shaking)


• Slowness of movement


• Rigidity (stiffness)


• Difficulty with balance
