Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder found among older adults at the age of 65 and above (Schwamborn, 2018). Symptoms of AD are memory loss, cognitive declination, disorientation, language deficit, impaired concentration, personal hygiene and self-care declination as well as behaviour and personality changes (Bature, F., Guinn, B. A., Pang, D., & Pappas, Y, 2017). At this...

Introduction Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that predominantly affects the motor system, leading to a wide range of physical and cognitive symptoms. Characterized by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, particularly within the substantia nigra, PD manifests through hallmark symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability. The onset of Parkinson's...

According to the Mayo Clinic, Parkinson’s Disease is the “progessive nervous system disorder that affects movement”. Specifically it is the gradual onset of tremors, usually in the hands. Parkinson’s is also commonly associated with symptoms such as stiffness or slow movements, slurred words, and other significant symptoms. Additionally, Parkinson’s Disease can’t be cured, only managed with certain medications that make...

More than one million people in this country are living with Parkinson’s disease (Parkinson’s Disease Foundation), and by 2030, the number of people living with PD is expected to double (Dorsey ER, Constantinescu R, Thompson JP, et al 2007), its symptoms including bradykinesia, rigidity, tremors, freezing, problems in gait and impaired balance and coordination. Coupled with this are also several...

Introduction Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be physically impaired? There are plenty of conditions that involve movement issues. One condition is Parkinson’s disease (PD). Famous icons, such as Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali have been diagnosed with the condition and have helped the public in some way regarding the disease. Michael J. Fox has...

With the development of aging in society, the incidence of senile psychosis is getting higher and higher: mainly manifested in population of both common elderly diseases: Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s rising. In 2015, 8.5% of the world's population was over 65 years old, and by 2050, it will jump to nearly 17% of the global population. However, in 2016, 61 million...

Most of us rely on our physical abilities and cannot imagine life without them. Going for a walk, eating a bowl of cereal, drinking a cup of coffee, dressing ourselves etc. are all abilities that we take for granted. Perhaps one of the most heart rendering, difficult situations I can think of is for someone to have those abilities slowly...

Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is one of the fastest growing neurodegenerative diseases in the world and the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease next to Alzheimer’s Disease. What causes it has yet to be discovered, but researchers say that people who are more prone to developing PD are mostly men, aged around 60 or older, and have relatives affected by...

Abstract This paper explores the classification of audio signals feature dataset to diagnosis Parkinson’s disease (PD), mainly it effects the central nervous system, Parkinson’s disease patient typically have a low-volume noise with a monotone quality. Firstly, James Parkinson described Parkinson’s disease as a neurological syndrome. In this research, we build a program to find a better classifier for the corresponding...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease caused by the lack of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which acts as a chemical messenger in the brain; it has no known cure (Bruggman and Ortiz-Hartman). Due to lack of dopamine, those diagnosed may experience tremors, slow or loss of physical movement, dementia, bowel and bladder problems, difficulty of speech and even...

Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative and chronic disorder of the central nervous system that progresses slowly and progressively incapacitates the person who suffers it. PD is often classified as a movement disorder, but it also produces some alterations in certain mental functions such as memory, learning and the expression of emotions. This disease was first described in 1817...

The term neurodegenerative disease contains different conditions that affect the neurons in the human brain. Neurons are the nerve cells in the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. Neurons usually don’t reproduce so when they get damaged they die off and can’t be replaced by the body. This is why neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s can’t be...

One of the most important factors to staying independent as an older adult is the ability to perform daily tasks of living and self-care. The progression of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) leads to an increasing inability to perform daily activities, loss of independence, and a decreased quality of life, and it generates socioeconomic and occupational impairments (Morris, Watts, & Iansek, 2009)....

Parkinson’s Disease, a disease many people are all too familiar with, is a serious neurological disorder that involves a long-term degeneration of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Parkinson’s, or PD for short, affects more than 10 million people globally and over 60,000 Americans alone are diagnosed with PD each year (GBD, 2016). People affected by this disease, a trait or...

ABSTRACT Parkinson's disease is a progressive and degenerative disorder that results from the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. This study includes age-related neurodegeneration such as PD. As the human lifespan is undeniably increasing, there is an increase in the constant threat of being affected by age-related diseases like PD, Alzheimer's, etc. According to recent studies, it has been reported that calorie...

Parkinson’s Disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects the movement and often includes tremors. Damage to the nerve cells in the brain causes the dopamine levels to drop which leads to the actual symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. This disease was discovered by James Parkinson in 1817. He wrote an essay on his discoveries titled “the shaking...

Abstract The prediction of Parkinson’s disease in early age has been challenging task among researchers, because the symptoms of disease came into existence in middle and late middle age. There are lots of symptoms that lead to Parkinson’s disease. But this article focuses on the speech articulation difficulty symptoms of PD affected people and try to formulate the model on...
