   Parkinson's disease is a long-term, degenerative disorder of the nervous system. It mainly affects the motor system and results in symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking. The disease typically begins slowly and symptoms gradually worsen over time. Parkinson's disease is more common in older people, and men are more likely to be affected than women. It is named after Dr. James Parkinson, who first described the condition in the early 19th century.
