Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that impacts the parts of the body governed by nerves, often leading to tremors. These tremors are commonly observed in the hands but can also affect the lips, chin, legs, or face. Initially appearing asymmetrically, impacting only a side of the body or one limb, tremors may later progress to involve both sides.
The most recognisable symptom of Parkinson’s is the resting tremor, which occurs when the hands are idle, such as lying in one's lap. Additionally, some individuals may experience internal tremors, which are not visible externally but can be felt internally. Another common manifestation is the "pill-rolling tremor," characterised by a circular motion of the fingers and hand as if rolling a small object like a pill.
While resting tremors are more typical, some individuals with Parkinson’s may also experience action tremors during movements, such as reaching towards the face. Although these tremors generally do not cause disability, they can significantly hinder daily activities and lead to considerable self-consciousness and anxiety about the condition.
