Fascinated by the frontiers of technology

meantime

She revealed her family medical history through social platforms

"Actually, I also have Parkinson's genes in my family

When I'm eating too much caffeine or not getting enough sleep

The thumbs are starting to shake a little."

This topic rushed to the top of the hot search

Attracted the attention of netizens

"Caffeine intake is protective for Parkinson's patients

But excessive intake can cause

Problems with anxiety, hand tremors, heart palpitations, insomnia, etc

It's bad for the patient."

For Zhang Zetian's above performance

Deputy Chief Physician, Department of Neurology, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University,

Shu Min, a member of the board of directors of the Hubei Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Society, explained to Jiupai News

"Parkinson's disease in older people is more often caused by

Aging or environmental factors

For younger patients

Genetic factors are the most important"

Understanding Parkinson's - let you not be afraid of "Parkinson".

There is a disease

Known as the "Silent Killer"

It's called Parkinson's

This disease is second only to

Tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

It has become a threat to the health of middle-aged and elderly people

The third biggest "killer"

April 11 is World Parkinson's Disease Day

According to statistics

There are about 4.5 million people living with Parkinson's disease worldwide

Speaking of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease

I believe that the first reaction in most people's minds

It's "hand shaking"

In fact

Parkinson's disease is more than just "hand shaking"

Let's find out↓↓

Hand tremors ≠ Parkinson's disease

Usually everyone thinks

Older people with hand tremors are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease

In fact, hand tremors ≠ Parkinson's disease

There are many causes of hand tremors

"My thumb has begun to tremble a little!" Zhang Zetian revealed his family medical history

The doctor said

Hand tremors are evident in patients with Parkinson's disease

Resting tremor is usually present

Other words

Hand tremors are noticeable when sitting and resting

Hand tremors will be significantly reduced when working

"My thumb has begun to tremble a little!" Zhang Zetian revealed his family medical history

Typically presents with the thumb and index finger

"Rubbing pills" or "counting money" movements

Usually presents with the first onset of one limb

It is aggravated by nervousness or agitation

Hu Yongsheng, Chief Physician of the Department of Functional Neurosurgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University: There are two types of Parkinson's disease symptoms, one is motor symptoms and the other is non-motor symptoms. Non-motor symptoms such as early loss of smell, insomnia, constipation, some mood changes, and even cognitive changes in some people are relatively early manifestations of Parkinson's disease.

The presence of these symptoms should be suspicious of Parkinson's disease

Hand tremor: The general symptom of hand tremor in patients with Parkinson's disease is resting tremor, that is, the hand tremor is obvious when the patient is sitting and resting, and the hand tremor is significantly reduced when working. Typical manifestations are "pill-rubbing" or "banknote-counting" movements of the thumb and index finger.

Limitation of limb movement: Frequent feeling of stiffness, muscle tightness, inflexibility, and slower movements, such as difficulty buttoning and tying shoes, smaller and slower steps when walking, and reduced limb coordination arm swing.

Hyposmia: About 90% of people with Parkinson's disease develop symptoms of hyposmia at an early stage. Some patients may have a sense of smell 3~7 years before the onset of motor symptoms. It is one of the typical symptoms in the early stages of Parkinson's disease.

Sleep disorder: Characterized by frequent yelling, punching and kicking while sleeping, this is a specific sleep disorder - rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, also known as "dream disorder".

Writing becomes smaller: Long-term persistent writing gets smaller and smaller, also known as the "lowercase sign".

"Mask face": In the early stage, it often manifests as a decrease in facial expressions, a decrease in smiles, a decrease in blinking and eye movements, and a "mask face" in the later stage.

Reduced voice: Usually manifested as a deep, slurred voice, a decrease in volume, and a decrease in clarity.

Constipation: People with Parkinson's disease often have difficulty having a bowel movement if they don't eat special foods or medications. Studies have found that patients with Parkinson's disease are 3 times more likely to have constipation than those without Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease is not a disease of old age!

presently

Parkinson's disease has emerged

Younger incidence

"My thumb has begun to tremble a little!" Zhang Zetian revealed his family medical history

Why do young people get Parkinson's disease?

The study found

Parkinson's disease occurs in young people

Closely related to genetic factors

Doctor's introduction

In addition to genetic factors

Irregular lifestyle, drinking, smoking, tiredness, etc

will increase the risk of Parkinson's disease↓↓

4 tips to self-test whether there is a risk of Parkinson's disease

If Parkinson's disease is suspected

You can self-test through the following 4 actions

Action one

Thumb and index finger to finger

Observe whether the movements of the two hands are coordinated

"My thumb has begun to tremble a little!" Zhang Zetian revealed his family medical history

Action two

Whether there is a panicked gait during walking

(also known as the "penguin gait")

The stride length and width are shortened, and the torso is leaned forward

It's easy to stop the "car" when you go forward

This belongs to the common Parkinson's gait in neurology

"My thumb has begun to tremble a little!" Zhang Zetian revealed his family medical history

Action three

Straighten your arms and hands

Flip the palms and backs of your hands

See if there is a pause in the movement of both hands

or a decrease in amplitude

"My thumb has begun to tremble a little!" Zhang Zetian revealed his family medical history

Action four

Hit the ground with your heel and lift one toe on one side

Repeat on tiptoe

Observe if there is a pause,

The trend of smaller and smaller amplitudes

"My thumb has begun to tremble a little!" Zhang Zetian revealed his family medical history

There is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease

Other words

Once Parkinson's disease is diagnosed

It requires lifelong treatment

How can Parkinson's disease be prevented?

↓ These 6 points should be kept in mind ↓

High-risk groups with familial Parkinson's disease should be given high attention;

Patients with arteriosclerotic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc.) should strictly control the disease, which is conducive to reducing brain damage and enhancing brain function;

Avoid exposure to toxic substances (herbicides, heavy metals, etc.);

avoid or reduce the use of drugs that induce parkina tremens;

The diet should be light, with a green diet, and eat less high-fat food;

Exercise regularly, use your brain moderately, and sleep and rest regularly.

Exercise styles suitable for people with Parkinson's disease

aerobics

Studies have shown that aerobic exercise can help improve cardiorespiratory endurance and improve the physical condition of people with Parkinson's disease.

Aerobic exercise includes the following 3 categories: 1. Aerobic exercise related to recreation, sports, and leisure. 2. Aerobic activity in daily life, which includes physical activity related to work and family. 3. Traditional Chinese fitness techniques, such as Tai Chi, Wufowl Opera, Baduanjin, etc.

Resistance movement

Resistance exercise refers to the active or passive movement of the body's major muscle groups to increase muscle strength and flexibility without causing excessive fatigue.

These include resistance exercises using exercise equipment such as barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, tension machines, resistance bands, etc., as well as sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups without exercise equipment.

Stretching exercises

Stretching exercises for people with Parkinson's disease stretch muscles and ligaments to improve balance and coordination. There are two types of motion: static and dynamic.

In static stretching, people with Parkinson's disease may use appropriate stretching movements to stretch a specific muscle, such as shoulder press and arm abduction stretch (shoulder muscles), seated forward bend (lumbar muscles), seated leg press, and straight knee leg (leg muscles).

In dynamic stretching, people with Parkinson's disease can choose appropriate movements and actively stretch specific muscles repeatedly.
