1) The tremor: a potential symptoms of Parkinson's disease

The earthquakes that do occur in approximately two thirds of people with Parkinson's disease. Typically, they occur at rest and conversely decrease or stop when you move. The arms are more often affected by earthquakes. Also note that stress exacerbates tremor.

2) The other characteristic signs of Parkinson's disease

- Muscle rigidity: even at rest, the muscles continue to contract continuously, generating pain and significant stiffness.

- The akinesia: This term refers to slow movements that lack natural. Even the habitual movements require voluntary control, which slowed their performance and significantly reduces spontaneity.

Digestive disorders (constipation, excessive salivation ...).

Urinary problems (incontinence, urgent desire ...).

Sexual dysfunction (erection problems ...).

Sleep disturbances (insomnia, sleepiness during the day ...).
