Parkinson's disease.
The management of the elderly patient with idiopathic Parkinson's disease requires great attention to detail. Treatment should only be considered when the daily activities of life are affected. Medication should be commenced cautiously. Regular review is essential and co-ordination with other members of the multidisciplinary team is vital.
