Parkinson’s patients: either can’t walk, or can’t stop

The main symptoms of Parkinson’s are tremors and stiffness of the body and limbs, and can have a range of complications. Parkinson’s patients should be aware of the principles of medication for Parkinson’s disease in the early stages and surgery in the later stages. It is important to treat Parkinson’s early, whether it is medication or surgery. Parkinson’s disease symptoms are generally these: 1, slow action, clumsy, uncoordinated activities, can not complete such fine movements as tying shoelaces, buckles; serious people standing, walking are very difficult. 2, often accompanied by neurological disorders, constipation, wasting, greasy face, insomnia, depression, vertigo, reduced speech, drowsiness, nervousness, choking, choking cough, unresponsiveness, memory loss, fatigue, urinary urgency, incontinence, anxiety, dementia, sweating and oil production and other symptoms. 3, abnormal posture when standing with the head stretched forward, the body also leaned forward, both knees bent; walking will also feel difficult to start, want to step but can not step; and after stepping will be faster and faster, with a very small pace forward, can not turn or stop in time. There are also patients who walk at a slow pace and with small steps, like dragging their legs to walk, and their arms cannot swing in a coordinated manner. 4. The muscles are stiff and tight, the joints are inflexible, and even turning over is difficult. For example, in the early stage, the muscles of the forearms and fingers are stiff, and the writing is crooked, and the smaller the writing is, the smaller the writing is. In addition, the skin on the face lacks normal expression due to muscle stiffness, rarely blinks, has straight eyes, and appears dull (i.e., “mask face”); the patient also unconsciously drools. In addition, the patient may have an ape-like posture in which both arms are close to the body and the joints of the legs are bent. 5, tremor and shaking, about 60% – 75% of Parkinson’s patients first symptoms is tremor, and this tremor is slow, rhythmic and stationary tremor, shaking. The tremor is noticeable when the limb is quiet or at rest, but diminishes or disappears when the limb is in motion. The tremor usually starts in the hands or feet, with the hands shaking as if they were rubbing pills; it often occurs when the fingers or limbs are in a particular position and disappears when the position is changed. In addition, the tremor increases when the patient is emotionally or mentally stressed and disappears completely during sleep.
