Abstract

Introduction: The disease Parkinson give all in the beginning problems with walking and especially with the balance. The treatment ideas improve, this is great and is a great achievement, because now have people the feeling be active to “stopped” this disease and indeed, it will slow down the great number of symptoms that makes the quality of life very difficult.

Design of this article: The purpose of the design was to search for the reason, why this aspect- balance- was so fragile and so fast affected. Then is the search for the functioning of the damaged brain the first” stop”, because there will be the answer, why people with this disease are using “cues” to get the influence of that damaged brain under control. Cues are capable to transform a freezing moment in movements- possibilities. That difference must be done in the brain and that means that are different ways to create a movement.

Result: This fact that there are more possibilities to get a movement done, means that there is through this disease a problem to choose immediately the optimal way. This -not capable- to choose the optimal way, must have a reason and one of them is that the brain must choose for an pathological tone (rigidity) to master the gravity.

Conclusion: Looking at the way people with the disease of Parkinson move and search for cues to get an better control and get the force of gravity under control, let us believe that this gravity force, forces people to use lower systems with an pathological tone and muscle pattern. This conclusion, direct us, that this gravity force asked for too much tone. That asked for measurement and treatments in which that tone increase isn’t necessary. So that the selectivity can be trained on his highest level.
