Definition
Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder
that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a
barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder
also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.
Causes
·
Genes. Researchers have
identified specific genetic mutations that can cause Parkinson's disease. But
these are uncommon except in rare cases with many family members affected by
Parkinson's disease.
However, certain gene
variations appear to increase the risk of Parkinson's disease but with a
relatively small risk of Parkinson's disease for each of these genetic markers.
·
Environmental triggers. Exposure
to certain toxins or environmental factors may increase the risk of later
Parkinson's disease, but the risk is relatively small.
signs and symptoms
Parkinson's signs and symptoms may include:
·
Tremor. A tremor, or
shaking, usually begins in a limb, often your hand or fingers. You may rub your
thumb and forefinger back and forth, known as a pill-rolling tremor. Your hand
may tremble when it's at rest.
·
Slowed movement (bradykinesia). Over
time, Parkinson's disease may slow your movement, making simple tasks difficult
and time-consuming. Your steps may become shorter when you walk. It may be
difficult to get out of a chair. You may drag your feet as you try to walk.
·
Rigid muscles. Muscle
stiffness may occur in any part of your body. The stiff muscles can be painful
and limit your range of motion.
·
Impaired posture and balance. Your
posture may become stooped, or you may have balance problems as a result of Parkinson's
disease.
·
Loss of automatic movements. You
may have a decreased ability to perform unconscious movements, including
blinking, smiling or swinging your arms when you walk.
·
Speech changes. You
may speak softly, quickly, slur or hesitate before talking. Your speech may be
more of a monotone rather than have the usual inflections.
·
Writing changes. It
may become hard to write, and your writing may appear small.
