Complications of Parkinson's disease

summary

Parkinson's disease is a chronic degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, which can damage the motor skills, language ability and other functions of patients. For the clinical manifestations of Parkinson's disease, according to the performance of different patients are different, the following is a summary of several aspects of Parkinson's disease complications.

Complications of Parkinson's disease

One: symptoms of Parkinson's disease: causing movement disorders in patients. It is characterized by posture and gait, rigid face, like a mask; head forward, trunk forward, flexion, elbow joint and knee joint slightly flexion; walking distance is small, the first line is slow, the faster you walk, showing a flustered gait, two upper limbs do not swing back and forth. When walking, the joint swing of the upper limbs disappears, and the stride is shortened. Combined with the flexion posture, the patient can walk with the action of breaking and rushing forward. We call it "flustered gait".

Second: Parkinson's disease symptoms: tremor and static tremor. Most of the symptoms were found in the head and limbs of the patients, especially in the hands, and the fingers showed coarse static tremor. With the development of the disease, the tremor gradually affected the whole limb, even affected the trunk, and extended from one upper limb to the ipsilateral and contralateral upper and lower limbs. The jaw, lip, tongue and head were generally finally affected. The tremor amplitude of upper limb was greater than that of lower limb. Only a few patients had tremor in the lower limbs.

Third: Parkinson's disease symptoms: muscle stiffness, extensor, etc. The tension of flexor muscle is increased, and there is gear like or lead tube like resistance feeling in passive movement, which is called gear like ankylosis or lead tube like ankylosis respectively. Some patients will appear pronunciation muscle stiffness caused by difficulty in pronunciation, finger muscle stiffness makes daily life unable to take care of themselves and so on.

matters needing attention

According to the particularity of the patient's disease, Parkinson's patients also have other clinical manifestations, such as some patients are excitable, occasionally have paroxysmal impulsive behavior; body sweating, saliva, sebaceous fluid secretion increase; cerebrospinal fluid, urine dopamine and its metabolites decrease and so on.
