The disease causes trembling in the hands, arms, legs, jaw and face; rigidity or stiffness of the limbs or trunk; slowness of body movements; and unstable posture and difficulty in walking. In this podcast, Sydney Adventist Hospital neurologist Dr Peter Puhl discusses Parkinson’s, its impact and the range of treatments now available.
