Parkinson's & other movement disorders

Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system problem that influences the movement. Symptoms start gradually, some of the time beginning with a scarcely noticeable tremor in only one hand. Tremors are common, yet the turmoil likewise usually causes stiffness or slowing of movement.

What are the Common Symptoms?

1. Tremor or the involuntary and rhythmic movements of the hands, arms, legs and jaw
2. Muscle rigidity or firmness of the limbs - most common in the arms, shoulders or neck
3. A stooped, flexed posture with bending at the elbows, knees and hips
4. Shaky walk or balance
5. Depression or dementia

How is diagnosis done?

Presently, the diagnosis of Parkinson's is primarily founded on the common symptoms outlined previously. There is no X-ray or blood test that can confirm the illness. However, non-invasive diagnostic imaging, like positron emission tomography (PET) can support a specialist's diagnosis. Conventional methods for diagnosis include:

1. The presence of 2-3 primary symptoms
2. The absence of other neurological signs upon assessment
3. No history of other possible reasons for parkinsonism, like the utilization of tranqulizer drugs, head trauma or stroke
4. Responsiveness to Parkinson's meds, like levodopa

Other movement disorders

1. Atypical parkinsonian disorders: They are progressive infections that have a portion of similar indications (slowness, tremor and stiffness) as Parkinson's disease. They regularly have extra manifestations that are not normal in Parkinson's and may not react well to Parkinson's meds
2. Huntington's disease: It is an inherited problem that causes brain cells known as neurons, to pass on in different areas of the brain, which thusly leads to disability that deteriorates overtime.
3. Essential tremor: is another issue that can make an individual's arms shake rhythmically when the arms are being utilized to carry out a function like eating, dressing, writing, drinking or when holding a posture, for example, with the arms outstretched before the body.
