12. Parkinson's disease (or PD) is a disease that slowly damages
the central nervous system. The central nervous system is made
up of the brain and spine. When a person gets Parkinson's
disease, the cells that make dopamine in a part of the brain die.
Dopamine cells send information to other cells which makes us
do the actions we do. Because of this, Parkinson's disease
mainly affects the body's motor system.Parkinson's disease is a
disease that gets worse over time. People normally get
Parkinson’s disease when they are over 50 years old. It is
sometimes very hard for doctors to detect.

Benefits of Exercise for Parkinson’s Disease
Certain exercises may be helpful for specific motor symptoms
of Parkinson's:For balance, consider tai chi and yoga.To
improve coordination and agility, look into dancing or
boxing. For significant balance problems or limited mobility,
seated aerobic exercises can give a challenging workout that
raise the heart rate. To target freezing of gait (sudden,
temporary inability to move) or falls, find a Parkinson's-specific
physical therapy program that emphasizes bigger movements
with walking and activities and can help with fall prevention
strategies. Talk to your neurologist about finding a therapist
who specializes in Parkinson's.For dystonia -- muscle cramping
that often affects the calves, feet or toes -- try lower impact
exercises (water aerobics or walking, for example) that don't
bring on symptoms. Stretching overactive muscles and
strengthening the opposing muscles also may help. (A physical
therapist can show you proper exercises.)
