Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive brain disease that cause by disorder of the nervous system. Parkinson is a neuro degenerative disease may happen all age but the risk is high at the increase of age. This disease end up causing a reduction in the amount of signaling chemical and loss of a particular kind of neuron is dopamine. As the result of this, a lot of cellular systems in the brain face a problem of renew themselves. As the dopamine level drops, it cause a lot of movement problem. This dopamine is very important for allowing to make a normal movements. Many dopamine neuron located in the midbrain called substantia nigari. In Parkinson disease, there is loss of around 500,000 dopaminergic cell in the brain. This cell found

pp. 301–314, 1980). An individual with Parkinson disease often face muscle weakness, this is when the amount of force that produce by muscle contraction is reduced. This muscle weakness appear most in extensors of the elbow, extensor muscle, upper and lower limb, and various muscle in the trunk. This diseases also cause reduction of muscle mass and this lead to physical inactivate and psychological problem. Among the signs tremor is one of them. This start at finger or hand. The person with this disease cannot control them because it is involuntary. It happens when a lot of contraction and relaxation occur in the muscle. This is mostly happen on patients, also it is called a resting tremor, because the tremor stops when the body part is not at rest. The cause Parkinson’s disease do not known. But, among the patient through now, majority of cases is not a family or hereditary history of the disease. “About 15% of people actually do have a family history. For this people the Parkinson’s appears to be caused by a mutation” (Khan Academy.org). Moreover, aging and gender also mentioned as a cause to expose to the
