Central Nervous System & Motor Function Pathways Visual
Parkinson’s disease is a neurologic condition characterized by motor dysfunction. It usually occurs progressively and leads to motor dysfunction as well as dysfunction in other functions of the nervous system.
The symptoms and progression of the condition differ between patients.
At Neuraxis, the approach to this disease is based on a comprehensive patient assessment to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
These may sometimes be subtle.
Some of the potential early symptoms are:
It is not clear what causes Parkinson’s disease.
The disease has been linked to abnormalities in particular brain cells responsible for regulating movements. It could be caused by the interplay of genetic and environmental factors.

There is no one test for diagnosing all cases of Parkinson's Disease.
Clinical Diagnosis usually consists of thorough physical and medical evaluations.
Knowing the history of the development of the disease, the progression of symptoms, and the impact on everyday life activities.
Testing movement abilities, muscle strength, reflexes, balance, gait and other neurological functions.
The physician might want to examine movement patterns that are characteristic of Parkinsonian disorders.
Medications and other health problems might be reviewed since some diseases and medicines can have similar symptoms to Parkinson's.
Imaging or additional tests might be performed when necessary to exclude other causes.
Not every method of treatment can suit every individual. This depends on a number of things, which include the individual's symptoms, stage of the condition and how he or she responds to treatment.
These are given to people who need help to move around well and perform their activities.
Conditions like trembling, rigidity, sleeping disorders or anything else may call for some special care.
Other therapies that include physiotherapy may assist mobility and balance.
Exercise, good nutrition, proper sleeping patterns and keeping busy may be incorporated in the treatment process.
Parkinson's disease is a changing condition. Neurological follow-up may be done regularly.
Parkinson’s disease can cause both movement-related and non-movement-related symptoms.
Consider neurological evaluation if you experience:
