What is Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s disease is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s.
It usually occurs after age 50 and although its prevalence increases in the elderly, it can also occur in young adults. It is more common in men than in women.
Parkinson’s is a pathology of the nervous system that affects the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter essential for the control and coordination of movements.
In people with Parkinson’s, dopamine-producing neurons die slowly and the cause of this is unknown at the moment.
What are the symptoms of Parkinson’s
The disease is expressed through motor symptoms such as difficulty or slowness in initiating voluntary movements, resting tremor in the arms or legs, and muscle stiffness, which generally affect one side of the body more than the other.
At first there may be subtle changes that may go unnoticed, such as a decrease in arm swing when walking, a reduced voice volume, or a feeling of fatigue.
Depending on which symptoms are more pronounced than others, two main types of Parkinson’s disease can be distinguished • Acineto-rigid: slowness and rigidity predominate.
• Tremor: what most affects the person is the tremor.
There are patients who have a mixed type, because they express manifestations of both, with neither predominance.
