Parkinsons disease caused by any disturbance in the brain, that by which occurs retrogression in central nervous brain system. Parkinsons disease is also a condition where when someone have distruption movement.

Generally this disease will strike on the basal ganglia of the brain sections (nucleus, putamen, kaudatus and globus palidus) caused by decreased levels of dopamine (DA). And it will be negatively and resulted in the occurrence of abnormalities specific to different trasmitor in the brain. Whereas Parkinson's disease occurs as a result of nerve cells or neurons in the brain called the substantia nigra suffered death or become weak. Under normal conditions, these cells produce chemicals that are very important in the brain called dopamine. Dopamine itself is a chemical that can carry electrical signals between the substantia nigra and along the nerve cells will help to produce a smooth body movements. And typing the dopamine-producing cells are damaged, then the symptoms of Parkinson's would automatic visible.

The existence of mental status changes during his illness with a cognitive deficit.

10. both eyes flickering with vigorous on the base of the nose knocker (mark Myerson positive).

Parkinsons disease treatment

1. Medikamentosa
- bromokriptin → Stimulation receptors dopamine
- triheksiphenidil HCL → antikolinergik

2. Physical

Is a long-term and type of therapy adapted to development of a disease, such as exercise overcome stiff and heavy on the members motion, improve body stance, manner of walking and moves the arm.
