Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a pathology of prevalent chronic neurodegenerative disorder, secondly followed by Alzheimer's disease, its main risk factor is age, genetic background or environmental factors involved. This pathology develops more in men than in women and its increase is 2 to 5 times greater than other diseases which means a deterioration in the quality of life of those who suffer from it. Its origin is unknown, but it is evidenced through studies that the decrease in dopaminergic neurons may be the genesis of the disease. Dopamine is the chemical messenger that is responsible for transmitting signals between the black substance and the striatum, in order to produce uniform movements. When there is a loss of dopamine, some abnormal patterns of nerve activation in the brain are generated, causing movement impairment. The clinical manifestations begin progressively and may vary for each individual, the main signs in Parkinson's disease are crucial lack of movement, stiffness, tremor at rest, increased muscle tension and insecurity of the posture due to lack of balance, this It brings falls and other signs such as: slowing of movements and difficulty articulating sounds.
