La enfermedad de Parkinson es un trastorno neurológico que altera el funcionamiento normal y la comunicación entre las células cerebrales. Empeora con el tiempo y afecta principalmente a adultos mayores (y más hombres que mujeres). Los síntomas incluyen temblores (sacudidas) que generalmente comienzan en un lado del cuerpo o en una parte del cuerpo, como la mano.
