Research Process of Parkinson’s Disease
May 10, 2021
PD ranks second among neurodegenerative diseases. The most well-known symptom of PD is involuntary tremors, characterized by uncontrolled shaking, most notably in the hands. Another important symptom is the weakening of balance ability, but it should be noted that the weakening of balance has nothing to do with cerebellar injury. Read More >
