ABOUT US "Don't count the days, make the days count." - Muhammad Ali ¿QUÉ ES LA ENFERMEDAD DE PARKINSON? La enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) es una enfermedad neurológica progresiva y crónica que destruye las células en la parte media del cerebro que producen "dopamina", una de las sustancias químicas que transmite las señales de control del movimiento. Cuando aproximadamente el 80 % de estas células ya no producen dopamina, comienzan a aparecer uno o más de los principales síntomas de movimiento de la EP: temblor de reposo; lentitud de movimiento; rigidez; y/o problemas de marcha o equilibrio. Pueden aparecer otros síntomas, como letra pequeña y apretada, falta de balanceo de los brazos y disminución de la expresión facial.
