Parkinson’s disease starts slowly and develops gradually, not to a very serious degree all at once, but is a slow, progressive process of development. Patients are most prominent in the following three major symptoms: 1. Movement disorders. It can be summarized as: motor inability: difficulty in performing random movement initiation. Decreased movement: reduced spontaneous and automatic movements and reduced range of motion. Bradykinesia: slow execution of random movements. Patients with bradykinesia and reduced random movements, especially when starting activities, show difficulty in straining and slow movements. When performing repetitive movements, the amplitude and speed are gradually reduced. In some cases, when writing, the words become smaller and smaller, which is called “lowercase syndrome”. Some patients may have difficulty speaking, and their voices may become smaller and their range narrower. Swallowing is difficult, and choking and coughing may occur when eating or drinking. Some patients do not move their whole body when they get up, which lasts for several seconds to tens of minutes, called “freezing attack”. 2. Tremor. It is a slow rhythmic tremor, often starting from one finger and spreading to the whole upper limb, lower limb, jaw, lips and head. The typical tremor manifests as resting tremor, which means that the patient has involuntary trembling in a stationary condition. The tremor mainly involves the upper extremities, with both hands trembling like pills, and sometimes the lower extremities also tremble. Individual patients may involve the jaw, lips, tongue and neck. The tremor is 4 to 6 times per second, with variable amplitude, and increases when nervousness is present. Many patients also have postural tremor of 5 to 8 times per second. Some patients do not have tremor, especially those who are over 70 years old. 3.Myalgia. This is muscle stiffness, resulting in stiffness of the limbs, neck and facial muscles, a feeling of effort, heaviness and weakness when moving the limbs, a stiff facial expression and reduced blinking movements, resulting in a “mask face”, the body bending forward, walking, turning the neck and turning movements are particularly slow and difficult. When walking, the upper limb coordinated swinging action disappears, the stride length is shortened, and combined with the flexed posture, the patient can walk with broken steps and forward movement, which we call “panic gait”. Treatment of this disease, first of all, should have a correct understanding of the disease: 1, it is a long-term disease, generally speaking, it will not soon threaten the life of the patient, to long-term struggle, to long-term health care, and long-term for the cure of this disease and make unremitting efforts, must have a long-term thinking. 2, in the treatment, Parkinson’s disease is not clear on the real cause, so there is no real special effect, can completely solve it a means. Parkinson’s disease patients are confused with some early symptoms of Parkinson’s disease as normal aging of body functions, resulting in delayed treatment. The medical community is constantly trying to explore the treatment of Parkinson’s disease is now mainly a combination of methods to stop or delay its occurrence and development, the effect is still relatively good. Care of Parkinson’s patients In the early stages of the disease, patients have the ability to live independently, and their care mainly lies in guidance and help to solve the difficulties in life; in the late stages of bedridden patients, their care tasks are increasingly heavy. Care for Parkinson’s patients should generally pay attention to the following issues: 1. Pay attention to diet and nutrition: (1) Sufficient total calories can be given according to the patient’s age and activity level, and the diet should pay attention to meeting the supply of sugar and protein, with vegetable oil as the main ingredient and less animal fat. It is advisable to limit protein intake in patients taking dopamine therapy. Protein can affect the therapeutic effect of dopamine. Protein intake should be limited to less than 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, with a total daily amount of about 40-50 grams. Within the limits, use more high-quality proteins such as milk, eggs, meat and soy products. A moderate intake of seafood can provide high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids, which is conducive to the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. (2) Inorganic salt, vitamins and dietary fiber supply should be sufficient. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, can provide a variety of vitamins, and can promote intestinal peristalsis, prevention of constipation. Patients sweat a lot and should pay attention to hydration. (3) Food preparation should be soft, easy to digest, easy to chew and swallow, according to the semi-liquid or soft food supply. (4) The diet should be light and low in salt; smoking, alcohol and stimulating foods, such as coffee, chili, mustard and curry, are prohibited. Adequate supply of water should be ensured. 2.Guidance and help in life: In the early stage of the disease, the patient has no obstacle in motor function and can insist on certain work. The patient should be instructed to participate in various forms of activities as much as possible and insist on the functional exercise of the joints of the limbs. With the development of the disease, the patient’s motor function will be impaired to a certain extent and the ability to take care of himself will be significantly reduced. At this time, it is advisable to pay attention to the safety of the patient’s activities, walking with a cane to help. If the patient has difficulty squatting and standing up in the toilet, a high stool can be placed in a sitting position for defecation. If the patient is clumsy and often makes mistakes, be careful with utensils during meals. For those who cannot eat, someone should feed them soup and rice. Those who have difficulties in dressing and undressing, buttoning, knotting the belt and shoelaces should be given assistance. 3, strengthen the functional exercise of the limbs: the early stage of the disease should adhere to certain physical activities, active functional exercise of the limbs, the joints of the limbs to do the maximum range of flexion and extension, rotation and other activities to prevent the occurrence of limb contracture, joint stiffness. Late stage patients should do passive limb activities and muscle and joint massage to promote blood circulation of the limbs. 4, prevention of complications: pay attention to the temperature, humidity, ventilation and lighting of the living room. Increase or decrease clothes according to the season, climate and weather, and decide the way and intensity of outdoor activities. Late stage bedridden patients should be turned on time, and skin care should be done to prevent urine and stool impregnation and bed sores. Passive movement of limbs and strengthening of muscle and joint massage are meaningful in preventing and delaying complications of bone and joint. Combine with oral care, turning and back tapping to prevent aspiration pneumonia and crushing pneumonia.
