About 70,000 Australians are living with PD, one of the most common neurological illnesses in the country and a chronic, progressive, incurable, complex and disabling neurological condition.

In many cases, the disease results in impaired speech and leads to various mental health issues, such as depression and problems with memory and sleep.

PD affects 1%-2% of worldwide individuals older than 65, and its prevalence is expected to grow in the next few years due to the increase in the global population.

The diagnosis of this disease is primarily based on observational criteria of muscular rigidity, resting tremor, or postural instability in combination with bradykinesia.
