Two Parkinson’s disease sufferers given walker




KUCHING: Batu Kitang State Assemblyman Lo Khere Chiang  handed over a walker to Parkinson’s disease sufferer 76-year-old Spiah.

Lo also handed over another walker to 83-year-old Kassim who is also suffering from the same disease.

Both Spiah and Kassim received their walkers on Thursday in Batu Kitang.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement.

It develops gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand.

But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinson’s disease, the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.

Although Parkinson’s disease can’t be cured, medications may markedly improve the symptoms.
