Overview
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a movement disorder that is chronic and progressive, meaning that symptoms continue and worsen over time. As many as one million Americans suffer from Parkinson’s Disease. While approximately 15 percent of people with Parkinson’s are diagnosed before the age of 50, incidence increases with age. The cause is unknown, and although there is presently no cure, there are many treatment options such as medication, therapy, and surgery to manage the symptoms. The purpose of this seminar is to educate a wide variety of nursing and therapy professionals about the history, diagnosis, treatment, and trends in the management of Parkinson’s Disease.
