Parkinson's disease is a common neurological disorder that has a serious impact on the quality of life and physical health of the elderly. Knowing the precursors of Parkinson's disease can help prevent and intervene in the disease in advance.
Hand tremors, for many people, may just be a common physiological phenomenon. However, for Parkinson's patients, hand tremors can be a precursor to problems in their body. In Parkinson's disease, hand tremors are a common symptom, but not all hand tremors are a precursor to Parkinson's disease. Some people will experience hand tremors in emotional states such as nervousness and anxiety, which is physiological hand tremors.
Wang Lao said: The hand tremor of Parkinson's disease has the following characteristics:
1. Hand trembling is mostly static, that is, the hand shakes involuntarily in a static state;
2. The hand tremor is small and fast, generally not more than 10 times per minute;
3. Hand tremors may gradually worsen, accompanied by other symptoms, such as muscle stiffness, slow movement, etc.
Patients with Parkinson's disease may experience symptoms of general muscle stiffness in the early stages, especially after waking up in the morning. This stiffness may lessen with increased activity. It can also be accompanied by symptoms of sluggishness, including daily activities such as getting up, turning over, and walking. This is mainly due to muscle stiffness and decreased muscle strength.
In daily life, patients may have symptoms of postural balance disorders when walking, which is manifested as leaning forward and unsteady gait when walking. This is mainly due to muscle stiffness and decreased muscle strength, accompanied by symptoms of muscle pain, which is very uncomfortable.
Mask face, as the name suggests, is when the facial expression becomes stiff, as if wearing a mask. This phenomenon often occurs in the elderly, but it also occurs in younger people. Many people think it's a sign of natural aging, but is it really the case?
Wang Lao said: Parkinson's disease is a common neurological disease, and the main symptoms include muscle stiffness, bradykinesia, tremor, etc. And the mask face is a typical symptom of Parkinson's disease. The phenomenon of masked faces occurs when the nerves in the brain are damaged, resulting in a decrease in the ability to control the facial muscles. Therefore, the mask face may be a precursor to Parkinson's disease.
Finally, the benefits of preventing Parkinson's disease include improved quality of life, reduced morbidity, and neuroprotection. Therefore, people should actively take preventive measures, such as maintaining regular exercise, reasonable diet, etc., to reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease and protect our health.
