As part of our Learning Hub, we are pleased to present the video titled "Motor Symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease: The Clinical Perspective" by Dr. Margherita Fabbri, a healthcare professional from Toulouse Université Hospital.
Understanding Motor Symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a complex neurodegenerative condition that affects millions worldwide. Motor symptoms are among the most visible and impactful aspects of the disease, and understanding them is crucial for improving diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life.
In this video, Dr. Fabbri provides insights into key motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, including:
Tremor: Often one of the earliest signs, resting tremors can significantly impact a person’s daily life.
Rigidity: Stiffness in muscles can make movement challenging and uncomfortable.
Bradykinesia (Slowness of movement): A hallmark symptom, it affects the speed and efficiency of everyday tasks.
Diagnosis challenges: The variability and subtlety of motor symptoms in the early stages of PD often make diagnosis difficult.
Dr. Fabbri emphasizes the importance of recognizing these symptoms early and understanding their variability across patients. This knowledge is vital for accurate diagnosis and personalized care strategies.
