Initial symptoms of Parkinson's disease

summary

What are the initial symptoms of Parkinson's disease? It is necessary to know more about Parkinson's disease. Now let's take a look at the early symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which is conducive to the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Initial symptoms of Parkinson's disease

One: early detection of mild limb tremor: let the patient's side of the limb movement, such as one hand clenching and loose fist, can cause the other side of the limb tremor.

Second: early detection of mild muscle stiffness: let the patient move the other limb, which can make the muscle stiffness of the detected limb more obvious; let the patient lie on his back, and when the pillow under his head is removed quickly, the head often does not fall quickly, but slowly; Let the patients put their elbows on the table, make their forearms perpendicular to the table, and let their two arms and wrist muscles relax as much as possible. In normal people, the wrist joint and forearm flexion is about 90 degrees, while in Parkinson's patients, the wrist joint remains more or less straight, which is very similar to the road signs erected on the railway, which is called "road sign phenomenon".

Third: early slow motion and walking disorder: the patient's lower limbs drag when walking, the pace gradually becomes smaller than before, and it is difficult to start, and the front and back swing of upper limbs decreases or completely disappears when walking; when turning, the patient usually takes continuous small steps to make the trunk and head turn together.

matters needing attention

Generally speaking, Parkinson's patients with limb tremor as early symptoms, because of its characteristics, easy to cause the attention of patients and their families, often go to see a doctor and be diagnosed early; When the early symptoms are muscle stiffness or dyskinesia, because the patient's spirit, intelligence and speech are normal, and the patient's age is older, the patient and his family often think it is a natural manifestation of aging and do not go to see a doctor, so the diagnosis is delayed.
