What are the main symptoms of tremor paralysis

summary

One day, a friend told me that his grandfather's hand was shaking badly recently. He couldn't take things steadily and his behavior was getting slower and slower. The doctor said that this was tremor paralysis. I'm afraid he'll have to spend time in a wheelchair in the future. Now I'll tell you the main symptoms of tremor paralysis.

What are the main symptoms of tremor paralysis

First, the early manifestations of the disease include static tremor, myotonia, slow movement, difficulty in starting movement and abnormal posture. Static tremor refers to the uncontrollable shaking of the hands or arms of the patient, which is aggravated during rest or emotional tension. Other early symptoms include difficulty in starting activities, frequent tremor of the arms and legs, inability to perform fine movements of the upper limbs, and inability to take care of themselves in daily life.

Second: the disappearance of postural reflex often occurs in the middle and late stages of the disease, so it is difficult for the patient to maintain the balance of the body, and it is possible to fall on a slightly uneven road. Postural reflex can be detected by pull back test. The examiner stood behind the patient and asked the patient to pull his shoulders after preparation. Normal people can return to normal standing within one step back. The patients whose postural reflex disappeared often need to step back more than three steps or need to be supported to stand upright.

Third: in addition to tremor and bradykinesia, tremor paralysis patients can also have depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, cognitive impairment and other non motor symptoms. Fatigue is also a common non motor symptom of tremor paralysis. The typical chief complaints of patients are: "I feel very tired and weak; I have poor sleep, often can't sleep; I defecate hard, once a few days; I'm in a bad mood, always can't be happy; my memory is poor, and my brain reaction is slow."

matters needing attention

Tremor paralysis is what we often call Parkinson's disease. This disease often occurs in the elderly. Tremor occurs in different parts of the body. Most patients can't take care of themselves because they can't walk. They often have to spend their old age in wheelchairs.
