Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is recognised as the second most commonly occurring neurodegenerative disorder, after Alzheimer’s disease. As per the Parkinson Disease Foundation, it is estimated that Parkinson’s disease affects around 7-10 million people worldwide, as reported by de Souza et al. The principal aetiology of PD is the degeneration of neurons that produce dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a crucial neurotransmitter that regulates the smooth and coordinated functioning of muscles. The primary motor manifestations of PD comprise resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and compromised postural stability.
