Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a condition that affects different parts of the brain including the muscle movement control areas. People with Parkinson’s can show a number of symptoms, including trembling, muscle stiffness, slow movement, difficulty walking, and poor balance. There can also be mental difficulties such as confusion or memory loss. Parkinson’s affects 1 in 100 people over the age of 60, but it also affects a small number of younger people.
