The North Heights Lutheran Church is to hold the Minnesota Spring Parkinson's Symposium on Tuesday, April 11, at 9 a.m.
Parkinson's Symposium
The brain regions affected by Parkinson's disease deteriorate slowly over time. A wide variety of additional physical and mental symptoms might affect someone with Parkinson's disease.
Conditions including depression, anxiety, dizziness, and memory loss fall into this category.
According to NHS, Parkinson's disease often manifests itself in persons over 50, while some people with the disorder may initially notice symptoms as early as 40. Parkinson's disease strikes slightly more men than women.
On April 11, the APDA Minnesota Chapter, Parkinson's Foundation, and Udall Center will lead the Parkinson's Symposium. There will be food and discussions about managing life with Parkinson's disease at this event.
According to Eventbrite, topics will include ways in which persons with Parkinson's disease can overcome obstacles to bettering their posture, balance, and movement, as well as how these abilities can be maintained or developed.
The University of Minnesota's Udall Center's Dr. Colum McKinnon will address this problem. Aside from that, there will be panel discussions, where stories and experiences will be shared.
