What are the symptoms of Parkinson's disease?

Most of them are in the middle-aged and the elderly. They are insidious. More than 90% of the patients are over 50 years old. They have chronic progressive disease course. About half of the patients need help after 5-8 years. Tremor, ankylosis, dyskinesia (or hypokinesia) and postural and balance disorders were the main manifestations.

Tremor is caused by the rhythmic contraction of the stimulating and antagonistic muscles (4-6hz) of the limbs. It usually starts from the distal end of one upper limb and gradually extends to the ipsilateral and contralateral upper and lower limbs. The mandible, lip, tongue and head are usually involved finally.

Tremors in the upper limbs are often heavier than those in the lower limbs. The rhythmic tremor of fingers forms the so-called "rubbing pill like action". In the early stage of the disease, tremor occurs only when the limbs are at rest. It can be alleviated or temporarily stopped when doing random movement, aggravated by emotional excitement, and completely stopped when sleeping. Strong will and subjective efforts can temporarily suppress the tremor, but later there is a trend of aggravation.
