Abstract | This article will explore the case of an 82-year-old woman, who was referred by primary care into community physiotherapy service with a 12–18-month history of reducing mobility, rapid shuffling gait, and three falls in the last 6 months. After careful clinical history-taking and examination, a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease was given. This article will deliberate the aetiology and epidemiology of Parkinson's disease; it will discuss the presenting symptoms and why these were deemed more in keeping with Parkinson's rather than other considered differentials. The treatment and management offered will also be explored and the evidence relating to these decisions will be reflected upon. |
