What are parkinson disease symptoms?

Answer 1

The precise causes of all types of Parkinson disease are not known, but the common path of disease involves a loss of neurons in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra. These cells produce and release dopamine and are crucial for allowing the initiation of movement, which is one of the faculties that can be severely impaired in patients with the disease.

The classic signs and symptoms of Parkinson disease are often remembered by the mnemonic TRAP:

* Tremor at rest

* Rigidity

* Akinesia (actually dyskinesia, which is the presence of involuntary movements)

* Postural instability

There is considerable research evidence that drinking alcohol (beer, wine, or liquor) reduces the risk of developing the disease.

Answer 2

Symptoms of Parkinson's disease include a tremor (a 'pill-rolling' movement of their fingers and head nodding) a forward-bent walking position and shuffling gait. A stiff facial expression and they are slow in carrying out any movements.
Tremors, shaking, stiff muscles, slow movement, difficulty walking, and weakness of face muscles.

Answer 3

These symptoms are due to degeneration of a small portion of the brain called the substantia nigra, the cells of which secrete the chemical dopamine that influences cells in another brain region called the globus pallidus internus (GPi).

Answer 4

Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease vary from person to person. Some of the most common ones are hand tremors, slowed motion, stiff muscles, stooped posture, speech changes, dementia and a loss of unconscious movements such as blinking.

Answer 5

PD results from the degeneration and death of neurons in the substantia nigra, movement control centers on each side of the brain.

Answer 6

tremors, uncontrollable body moves.
