| Hip fractures are very common in people who have idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). Poor balance and other forms of
neurological dysfunction could be among the causes a problem. Parkinson's disease is a movement illness that affects the
nerve system. Symptoms appear gradually, and may begin with a barely detectable tremor in only one hand. Tremors are
common, however they are often accompanied by stiffness or slowed mobility. Your face may display little or no expression
in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. A 55 year old Indian man with IPD had a 14 year history of deteriorating
dyskinesias interspersed with bouts of immobility, postural instability, and the 'wearing off' phenomenon. When he got up
from his computer one morning, stumbled, and fell, he was in this regular state of baseline neuronal health. Emergency
medical services were called, and the patient was taken to our hospital's emergency department, where he was diagnosed
with a right hip fracture. Osteopenia and hip fractures ar e common in patients with IPD. The reasons for this are numerous.
Treatment is available, but prevention is the most important factorddd |
