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.
