In honor of #WorldParkinsonsDay, let's acknowledge James Parkinson — the first person to document "paralysis agitans," now known as Parkinson's disease, within his work "An Essay on the Shaking Palsy."

Stanley Fahn and C. David Marsden were some of the earliest advocates of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. They were both pivotal leaders and visionaries in the science and care of PD and founded MDS in 1985. How do you advocate for #PD? #worldparkinsonsday

In honor of #worldparkinsonsday, lets acknowledge some of the researchers and clinicians who have advanced our understanding of PD. Identified alpha-synuclein as a major component of Lewy bodies, clumps of proteins found in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies.

In honor of #worldparkinsonsday, lets acknowledge some of the researchers and clinicians who have advanced our understanding of PD. Developed deep brain stimulation for treatment in Parkinson’s disease by first testing in the thalamus but then moving to the subthalamic nucleus.

In honor of #worldparkinsonsday, lets acknowledge some of the researchers and clinicians who have advanced our understanding of PD. Linked dopamine deficiency to Parkinson’s disease and was influential in creating the first L-dopa clinical trials.

In honor of #worldparkinsonsday, lets acknowledge some of the researchers and clinicians who have advanced our understanding of PD. The first people to develop a rating scale for PD patients, the Hoehn and Yahr scale, which includes 5 stages of disease progression.

In honor of #worldparkinsonsday, lets acknowledge some of the researchers and clinicians who have advanced our understanding of PD. Advanced understanding of PD by distinguishing between rigidity, weakness, and bradykinesia. Formally renamed PD after James Parkinson.

Scientific advancements compound on each other. Take a look at some of the major milestones of PD research and treatment that have paved the way for the current state of patient care and research. #worldparkinsonsday
