The symptoms are mild and do not impair one’s ability to carry out daily activities. Shaking and other movement usually occur on one side. A person with Parkinson will over time notice a change in stance, walking ability and outward appearance. Stage Two: The symptoms begin to get worse. Tremors can occur in the hand and fingers. Rigidity causes stiffness on one or both side of the body. Postural instability causes a person to The person may take small steps as they were hurrying forward to keep their balance. The person may have difficulty completing daily activities.

Individuals with Parkinson’s may have limb rigidity which can affect their ability of movement and cause limitations. When moving the individual into different positions you must make sure to force the rigid limbs as this can cause further pain and discomfort.
The symptoms of Parkinson’s are followed. These are some Moderate Parkinson’s symptoms can be noticed with movements on both sides of the body, or the body starts to move more
The main symptoms and signs of Parkinson’s are bradykinesia, rigidity and rest tremor. Parkinson’s is mainly seen as a movement disorder, but other areas of health problems are associated with it. These include depression and dementia along with autonomic disturbances and pain, although considered to be rare they can present at a later stage of the condition. These rarer symptoms, as they progress, can lead to substantial disability and handicap which harms quality of life for the person living with Parkinson’s, this also has an impact on families and carer’s.
By the time someone shows signs and symptoms of Parkinson 's, Dopamine production in the brain has been reduced by 60 to 80% and is fairly advanced. This results in the most recognizable sign of Parkinson 's disease, the resting tremor of the hand or hands. During deliberate movement, the resting tremor goes away, at first. At rest, the tremor will become exacerbated,
Limitations: The present study patients would be graded as having mild or at worst moderate
The main symptoms of this type of parkinsonism are tremor, rigidity in the arms and legs, and bradykinesia.
Parkinson disease (PD), also referred to as Parkinson’s disease and paralysis agitans, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is the third most common neurologic disorder of older adults. It is a debilitating disease affecting motor ability and is characterized by four cardinal symptoms: tremor rigidity, bradykinesia or kinesis (slow movement/no movement), and postural instability. Most people have primary, or idiopathic, disease. A few patients have secondary parkinsonian symptoms from conditions such as brain tumors and certain anti-psychotic drugs.
Parkinson’s Disease is known as one of the most common progressive and chronic neurodegenerative disorders. It belongs to a group of conditions known as movement disorders. Parkinson disease is a component of hypokinetic disorder because it causes a decreased in bodily movement. It affects people who are usually over the age of 50. It can impair an individual motor as well as non-motor function. Some of the primary symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are characterized by tremors or trembling in hands, legs and arms. In early symptoms the tremor can be unilateral, appearing in one side of body but progression in the disease can cause it to spread to both sides; rigidity or a resistant to movement affects most people with Parkinson’s disease,
Parkinson’s Disease is a very common disorder these days. Over 10 million people live daily with Parkinson worldwide. Parkinson’s Disease was named after an English surgeon James Parkinson who wrote a detailed description essay called Shaking Palsy in 1817. The average age for Parkinson’s Disease is between 45 to 70 years old but you can also have juvenile or young onset as well. Most common symptoms of Parkinson are tremors, bradykinesia or akinesia, or rigidity or stiffness, and balance disorder. Parkinson’s Disease doesn’t have a cure and the cause is unknown it could be a number of things genetics, environmental triggers, age, or gender. Parkinson’s Disease happens because the dopaminergic neuron dies and
The cause of Stiff-Person Syndrome is still unknown it is believed that since there are
Stage II is marked by a worsening of symptoms. At this stage, you may begin to notice symptoms such as trembling, stiffness, or tremors on both sides of the body. Your loved one's facial expression may change and speech may become more difficult. Stiffness may slow your loved one down, but his or her balance is not yet affected.
There are five stages from 1 to 5, but people experience these stages differently, and it is common that a stage is missed. Stage 1 and 2 are early-stages that accompany mild motor symptoms, 2 and 3 mid-stages, and 4 and 5 advanced-stages that accompany immobility, dependence and cognitive decline (Hunter & Miller 2016). PD affects all aspects of health including physical, mental, psychological and social well-being, and thus the patients with PD, especially in advanced-stages require assistance with all aspects of living. PD can be a risk factor of chronic disability, higher mortality and lower quality of life (Hunter & Miller 2016).
