Abstract

The causes of Parkinson's disease spasticity can be divided into two broad categories. One is the muscle twitching and tension caused by Parkinson's disease itself. This is caused by the imbalance caused by the death of brain cells in the late stages of Parkinson's disease. Some cells die, and some cells do not. The resulting imbalance causes muscle twitching.There are also secondary causes, such as anti-Parkinson’s drugs, which come in many types, and can also cause muscle twitching. In addition, Parkinson's disease may be combined with other diseases, such as severe osteoporosis or epilepsy, which may also produce corresponding muscle twitches and spasms.This study proposes a new massage treatment plan for Parkinson's spasm. The massage program uses different methods, and different methods are proposed according to the spasticity of Parkinson's patients.
