Parkinson’s Disease

What is Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, coordination, and balance.

It occurs due to a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Dopamine is essential for smooth and controlled movement, and when levels drop, it leads to symptoms such as stiffness, tremors, and slowed movement.

Over time, Parkinson’s can impact daily activities, mobility, and independence.

If you or a loved one are managing Parkinson’s disease in Singapore, ACE Physio Sports can support you with structured physiotherapy to improve quality of life.

What Causes Parkinson’s Disease?

The exact cause is not fully understood, but several factors are involved:

• Degeneration of dopamine-producing brain cells
• Age-related neurological changes
• Genetic factors (in some cases)
• Environmental influences (possible contributing role)

The lack of dopamine disrupts communication between the brain and muscles, leading to movement difficulties.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

Symptoms develop gradually and may worsen over time.

Common signs include:

• Tremors (shaking in hands, arms, or legs)
• Muscle stiffness and rigidity
• Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)
• Shuffling walking pattern
• Poor balance and increased fall risk
• Stooped posture
• Reduced facial expression (“mask-like face”)

Additional symptoms may include:

• Difficulty with daily tasks (dressing, walking, turning)
• Voice and speech changes
• Sleep disturbances
• Cognitive or behavioural changes

Real-life search phrases people use:

• “shuffling walking pattern elderly”
