When you have Parkinson’s, these nerve cells break down. At that point you generally won’t have enough dopamine, and you have some difficulty moving the way you need to. The common signs and symptoms of Parkinson include tremors, rigid muscles, imparied posture and balance of the body, along with loss of movements, changes in speech and writing. The tremors mostly begin in limb and reach to the hand and the fingers. Trembling takes place even when the patient is at rest. Moreover, performing simple tasks can become difficult as the movement is slowed down and often time-consuming. The body may become stoop and the patient may feel problems while maintaining the posture and balance.

Symptoms vary from patient to patient depending on the part of the brain that has been affected but all patients have difficulty in movement along with other intellectual disability, seizures and other mental disorders.

What is the treatment of cerebral palsy?

The treatment program should be adopted as early as possible depending on the individual patient’s condition. A single treatment approach does not provide the desired results and often a combination of treatments are adopted including medications, surgery, braces and therapies such as physical, occupational, recreation, speech and language therapy. All these can improve the capabilities and a number of children may live a normal life in future if treatment is provided at the right time.
