| description | Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex, slowly progressive, neurodegenerative, neurological condition characterised by a wide range of motor problems such as movement disorders, issues with gait and balance, and difficulty with swallowing and speech. In addition, sufferers also experience non-motor symptoms such as disorder of sleep, postural hypotension, mood alterations, lethargy, and cognitive dysfunction. As PD progresses to an advanced stage, people experience periods of debilitating physical and neurological problems and their caregivers face increasing complexity of care. Many people with PD require the support of a caregiver to attend to activities of daily living. This paper will review the literature on the effects of Parkinson's disease on both the patient and caregiver. Findings highlight the progressive nature of the disease affecting both functional and affective domains, and the need for caregiver support to enable the delivery of quality of care to this group throughout the disease trajectory. |
