Parkinson disease is considered to be an idiopathic condition. This means that there are no known cures and researchers are still trying to determine its primary causes. When someone is first diagnosed they will exhibit a number of symptoms. The most notable include: shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, trouble walking and gait. (Sanchez, 2009) (Follet, 2010) (Cummings, 1992) (Leroy, 1998)
As the disease progresses, it will contribute to dementia and depression. This is showing its effects on entire body systems. In this outline, there will be a focus on the team strategy, questions and discussing the sources for the condition. Together, these elements will highlight how the study will be conducted and the way objectivity will be maintained. (Sanchez, 2009) (Follet, 2010) (Cummings, 1992) (Leroy, 1998) This can be accomplished by having them focus on specific aspects of the project the most notable include: research, writing and editing. Research is when everyone will have different areas to study on Parkinson disease. These include: the role of genetics, other complications, the number of cases, projections about future rates of infection, the impact of aging, possible complications and potential breakthroughs in treatment. Writing will take place, with each team member completing their section of the assignment they researched. This means that they will discuss the topic and explain what they discovered. Editing, is when the final pieces of the assignment are put together to make it sound professional and flow logically. If this kind of an approach is used, the project will be completed on time and it will not overwhelm the various…

PARKINSON'S DISEASE UNDERSTANDING THE PARKINSON'S DISEASE Understanding Parkinson's disease Description Parkinson disease is a progressive neurological problem that affects people of all ages and races. It is a very common condition. It is estimated that about 70, 000 Australians live with this disease. The average diagnostic age is 65 years, however, that does not rule out the possibility of young people developing Parkinson. In young people, the condition is known as Young Onset
Abstract Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia, while Parkinson’s disease is known as a debilitating neurodegenerative disease that affects significantly more men than women. The two disorders have some similar symptoms but are also very different. With regards to treatment, no standard intervention has been developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disorder. The only existing drugs are those that address some of the symptoms. Likewise, there is no standard therapy
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder which is primarily diagnosed in people aged 50 and above. This degenerative disease affects the muscular movement, creates tremor and increases posture rigidity. First explained in 1817 by James Parkinson, this disease is prevalent throughout the world. In the United States as well as the UK around 2% of the elderly population is afflicted by this neurological disorder. In the U.S. alone there are
Parkinson's Disease The human central nervous system is a miraculously designed functional piece of our bodies that helps us conduct the most essential tasks to help in our survival. It is therefore very important to investigate and understand how this system functions and operates. In this investigation it is also useful to understand how disease and malfunction of this system are affected. The purpose of this essay is to describe the
Parkinson's Disease A Brief Description of Parkinson's Disease Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder that occurs in middle-age to older adults. The disorder has a mean beginning of about 55 years of age. The incidence of Parkinson's disorder increases with age. PD affects about 0.15% percent of the population (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000). PD was first described in 1817 by James Parkinson's "Essay on the Shaking Palsy." In 95% of
Fortunately my father's symptoms early on have been quite mild thus far. With the exception of some slight tremors in the hands now, my father exhibits relatively few of the debilitating or crippling symptoms associated with Parkinson's. Though this may change with time, our hope is that new therapies and treatments will soon be discovered to extend and continue to improve the quality of life for patients with Parkinson's
