Expert Q&A: What are the specific manifestations of Parkinson’s disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a slowly progressive movement disorder, the main symptoms of which are “shaking – stiffness – slowness – unsteady walking”, which accompany the patients in the process of disease progression and affect the quality of life of the patients. So what are their specific manifestations? Shaking” is a common symptom in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. Doctors explain, in the early stage of Parkinson’s disease, trembling is often from the fingers or feet start to shake, to the thumb, forefinger, toes are common, the performance of the fingers like in the “rubbing pills” or “counting money” as the same movement, and in the emotional excitement, nervousness and other circumstances The symptoms are easily aggravated by emotional stress and nervousness, and can disappear completely during sleep. The so-called “stiffness” of Parkinson’s disease means that the patient’s limbs and body have lost their flexibility and become very stiff. The patient feels that the movement of one side of the limbs is inflexible, and there is a sense of rigidity and heaviness, and the symptoms gradually worsen, and the phenomenon of slow movement slowly appears, and it is even difficult for the patient to do some very simple movements in daily life. The symptoms gradually worsened, and the patient slowly developed motor retardation. There are also patients with inflexible neck rotation, shuffling steps, difficulty in fastening buttons and untie shoes, and even difficulty in lifting their legs. Doctors say, Parkinson’s disease “slow” refers to the early stage of Parkinson’s disease patient’s limbs often can not do some fine movements, especially finger movements, its movements are much slower than before or simply can not complete the activities of writing, button tying, shoelace tying and so on. Parkinson’s disease once to the middle and late stage, patients slowly appear gait disorder, that is, “walk unsteadily”, that is, the patient in the walking time start difficult, once open step, the body leans forward, forward, the center of gravity forward, to the pace of the small forward, and the more you go faster and faster, they can’t stop in time, can’t stop in time, the medical science is also called It is also called “panic gait”, and it is difficult to turn around, which is also called “turn freezing”, and it takes several small steps in a row to complete a turning movement. Brain pacemaker surgery is an excellent treatment for Parkinson’s disease. The doctor explained, “Brain pacemaker is the common name for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which uses electrodes implanted in the brain to deliver weak electrical impulses to stimulate the relevant neural nuclei controlling movement in the brain, and more than 150,000 people around the globe have been implanted with a brain pacemaker. At the same time, this surgical treatment is safe, minimally invasive, does not destroy brain tissue, and avoids irreversible and serious complications caused by the destruction of nerve nuclei.
