It is possible to diagnose Parkinson early in the letter

Just observe a piece of text that a person writes in a pen with a sensor for 15 minutes, doctors can find out soon whether the person will have Parkinson's disease.

Scientists at the Groningen Medical Center (Netherlands) have tested a new way to diagnose Parkinson's disease early.

In their experiments, they used a sensor pen to record the connection between the nervous system and the muscles of participants while writing.

Parkinson's disease can be diagnosed in advance through handwriting.

To analyze handwriting, scientists use methods of digital. At the same time they also observe everything that happens in other parts of the body, ie from top to bottom.

'Based on the handwritten paragraph with this special pen, for about 10-15 minutes doctors can diagnose participants who are at risk for Parkinson's disease' , Dr. Natasha Maurits, coordinator of The project at Groningen hospital said.

'Of course, the doctor cannot confirm right away, but can only conclude that the participant will necessarily come immediately to see a neurologist again,' she said.

According to her, people with Parkinson's disease always write more delicate characters than healthy people. In the next test phase, scientists will compare handwritten paragraphs with sensor pens of healthy people with handwriting of patients with Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders.

Parkinson's disease is quite common in the elderly. If taking Russia as an example, the number of people with Parkinson's disease in this country ranges from 100,000 to 400,000, mostly retirees. At age 65, the incidence is 1% while at 85 years of age people get sick from 2.6% to 4%.

The average age of onset is 55. About 10% of cases are diagnosed before age 40.

Symptoms of Parkinson's disease are tremor of hands and feet, loss of initiative in movement, difficulty in walking, a need for support and accompanying mental disorders in varying degrees.
