Shaking hands have become almost synonymous with Parkinson’s disease. But the condition can quietly change the way a person moves, speaks, writes and even sleeps long before the classic tremor becomes obvious.“Shaking hands is perhaps the symptom most people associate with Parkinson’s disease. But tremor is only one part of the picture,” said Dr Rohit Keshav, Consultant – Neurology and Movement Disorders, Bhagwan Mahavir Manipal Hospital, Ranchi.A person may notice that getting dressed takes longer, handwriting has suddenly become smaller or the voice sounds unusually soft. These changes are easy to brush aside, especially in older adults. Yet Parkinson’s does not look exactly the same in everyone.
