Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s Disease is a sickness that affects the brain and makes it hard for people to control their movements. People with Parkinson’s Disease might have trouble moving their arms and legs and may shake or tremble. It’s like having a wobbly puppet. Sometimes, they might also have trouble talking or swallowing. Doctors and scientists are working to find ways to help people with Parkinson’s Disease feel better and move better.
