Helping Those with Parkinson’s

What if you woke up one day unable to control your own body? While this sounds like a bad dream to most folks, this scenario is a reality for people who suffer from Parkinson's disease.

According to the Parkinson’s disease foundation, about one million Americans have this debilitating condition, and another 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. In this disease, the neurons in the brain gradually break down and die, leading to diminished body control, often exemplified by symptoms such as tremors, rigid muscles, and loss of unconscious movements (like blinking).
