My mind is still processing the neuroscience to understand exactly why this symptom occurs.

If stimulating the brain area to decrease Parkinson’s symptoms decreased a person’s ability to swim, I wonder the influence of swimming alone on Parkinson’s symptoms.

I find it unusual that the Parkinson’s sample population had the high quantity of swimmers. Only severe symptoms would result in this procedure being performed.

I have Essential Tremors and have severe hand and head tremors. DBS can be very effective in reducing tremors for both ET and Parkinson's patients.

Are they as a result of medications?
