  • This video is brought to you by the Stanford Medicine 25 to teach you the exam to diagnose Parkinson's Disease confidently as well as monitor response to treatment or progression of disease.
    The video is lead by Dr. Kathleen Poston. She is faculty at Stanford and a neurologist with an expertise in movement disorders. She is an active researcher in the field of Parkinson's Disease and an wonderful clinician. (The patient is this video, Larry, is a patient of Dr. Poston's.)
    * All exams are demonstrated with examples of real abnormalities thanks to our amazing patients! Special thank you to Larry for being the primary patient in this video. Larry is an amazing teacher and person!
    The four cardinal parts of the exam for Parkinson's Disease (covered in detail in this video) are:
    1) Bradykinesia (required for diagnosis of
    2) Rigidity
    3) Tremor (usually rest tremor but also kinetic and intentional tremor)
    4) Issues with gait and postural instability
    The Stanford Medicine 25 program for bedside medicine at the Stanford School of Medicine aims to promote the culture of bedside medicine to make current and future clinicians and other healthcare provides better at the art of physical diagnosis and more confident at the bedside of their patients.

    Thank you Larry!! I hope you know how many medical schools your video is used at all over the country, and thus how many students you have helped learn. Getting to learn from real patients makes all the difference in the world and reminds me what all this work is for. Excellent video.

      This was great, I have been researching "what are the warning signs of parkinson disease?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Piyaliyah Prominent Prepotence - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to reverse Parkinsons disease minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.

      Just wonderful, I've been looking for "what is the drug of choice for parkinson's?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Piyaliyah Prominent Prepotence - (do a google search ) ? It is a good exclusive product for discovering how to reverse Parkinsons disease without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got excellent success with it.

    I have essential tremors that are a reflection of my anxiety. Sometimes I think, “Do I have Parkinson’s?” because I shake so bad, but this CZcams instructional helps me know that I don’t have anything more than tremors

    • @Epiphalactic
      @Epiphalactic Před měsícem +1

      essential tremor is different than anxiety tremor.

    • @exosproudmamabear558
      @exosproudmamabear558 Před měsícem +1

      You have risk of having Parkinson (long term stress can effect essential tremors but it isnt direct cause. Essential tremors doesnt mean you are parkinson tho)so I suggest you to get your anxiety in check and stay away from antipsychotics. Go yo doctor to see if you need medication for it. Try to sleep enough.

    • @carriebaker5161
      @carriebaker5161 Před měsícem

      Talk to your PCP about Lorazepam or Flexiril for your anxiety and spasticity. I'm on both. A genetic condition I have leaves me an high risk for MS or Parkinson's.

    I just came back from an initial exam for Parkinson's tremor. I believe the nurse practitioner that examined me must have just watched this video beforehand. My responses very closely resemble Larry's to even include the predominance of symptoms on the left side.
    Best wishes to Larry!

    I under went most of those examinations and was given a preliminary diagnosis of PD just before Xmas. We thought my Tremors was due to my Extreme Anxiety and PTSD (both diagnosed). But watching YT videos such as this (& MJ Fox) is helping me understand my situation. The buttoning up process is a real challenge for me, same with shoe laces but it's all making sense to me and my Doctor now. Thank you.

  • @patnewman1
    @patnewman1 Před 5 lety +3

    Prior to my diagnosis of PD three years ago I noticed a tremor in my left hand. Because I am a Vietnam Veteran my primary care Doctor scheduled an appointment with a Neurologist. Before I met with the Neurologist I looked at a lot of videos which discussed PD symptoms, but this is by far the best video for PD that I have seen. Thank you for posting it.

My resting head tremors/shaking 24/7 seriously worsened after trying the exercises in the beginning of this video. Now I may need to walk around awhile to try to see if I can settle them down! Good to be aware that during my exam my tremors may get worse for awhile if these exercises are done!

    When I was in my 20’s my doctor ask me how long I have had my tremors? I didn’t realize I had them . When I turned 50 it got bad walking I got off balance and could no longer write or put my mascara on. I went to my doctor they gave me a prescription and told me it was Parkinson’s. Looking back at some family members who were no longer alive. I realized they had it too. If I miss a pill it’s torture. Now even on medication I fall a lot. So getting on a ladder with no one around me is a no no. Thanks for this video.
