summary

My grandfather's actions have become more and more inflexible in the past two years, especially his shaking hands. Now he can't hold things, which has a great impact on his life. He also went to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that he suffered from a disease called Parkinson's disease. Maybe many people don't know much about this disease. At what age can Parkinson's disease occur? What are the symptoms of this disease? Now let me introduce it to you!

How old is Parkinson's disease

First, Parkinson's disease usually occurs after middle-aged and old people, but it is not certain that young people will not have Parkinson's disease, so it is possible to have Parkinson's disease at the age of 20. Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease in the middle-aged and the elderly, which usually occurs after the age of 60. The main performance for the patient's slow movement, hands and feet or other parts of the body tremor, the body lost flexibility, become rigid. At that time, it was not known what kind of disease the disease should be classified into. It was called "tremor paralysis".

Second, Parkinson's disease is a systemic disease. Parkinson's disease, also known as tremor paralysis, is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that occurs above middle age. This name is the same in the old textbooks in China, and it is still used by some non specialists. Later, people observed the disease more carefully, and found that in addition to tremor, there were other symptoms, such as muscle rigidity, writing smaller and smaller, but the muscle strength of the limbs was not damaged, so it was not appropriate to call paralysis, so it was suggested that the disease be named "Parkinson's disease".

Third, Parkinson's disease has another name, also known as "tremor paralysis", Parkinson's disease or Parkinson's disease, which usually occurs after the age of 60. The main manifestations are slow movement, tremor of hands, feet or other parts of the body, loss of softness and stiffness of the body. James Parkinson, a British physician, was the first to describe the disease systematically. At that time, it was not known what kind of disease the disease should be classified into, and the disease was called "tremor paralysis".

matters needing attention

As the condition of Parkinson's patients will be more and more serious, their actions will be more and more inconvenient, and their physical functions will also become worse. Parkinson's patients will strengthen the passive activity of their limbs, and strengthen the muscle and joint massage. To prevent pneumonia complications of Parkinson's disease, patients need to combine oral care in life, turn over and knock on the back to prevent aspiration pneumonia and falling pneumonia. Pay attention to the separation between drugs and high protein intake.
