Amany Sakr

PD is one of the most common non-curable neurological disorders. It is a progressive disorder that affects movement & develops gradually, starting with a little noticeable tremor in just one hand. In early stages of PD, face may show little or no expression, arms may not swing on walking. Speech may become soft or slurred & over time symptoms worsen as the condition progresses.
