Identifying poor symptom control in Parkinson's disease

Article Abstract:

Parkinson's disease is a progressive disabling disorder characterized by learned voluntary movements, such as bradykinesia and either rigidity or resting tremor or both and occurs in people of all ages but prevalence increases with age. Identifying poor symptom control and taking the appropriate action can significantly improve the patient's quality of life, thereby impacting on their carers and family.
