Symptoms of Parkinson’s
There are several symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, and it can affect people differently.
There are particularly four key symptoms that are associated with Parkinson’s disease that doctors usually look for during diagnosis. They include;
- Tremors
- Muscle stiffness or rigidity
- Slow movement, or bradykinesia [5]
- Changes in posture and balance that can increase the risk of falls
The symptoms gradually worsens, and they may start on one side of the body but move to other parts in time. They can appear to be either mild or severe. Some people will only ever develop mild symptoms, while others may become unable to take care of themselves.
