Agility 1

Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2007 2:47 am Post subject: Q: Agility

Dear Doctor,

I have difficulties for the following when I taking part exercises in the gym or daily life:

1. difficulty to move quickly & skilfully: nimble fingers

2. Grasp - to take hold/seizing something firmly in my hand

3. Agile- quick in movement

4. mentally quick or acute

Is it an aging process?

Kindly advise.

Dear Teo,

Exercise is outside my scope of practice -- my training and experience is in the field of nutrition.

However, the symptoms you mention could be: - advancing age, as you suggest - advancing PD -- PD has several "stages" and later stages are marked by increasing symptoms - under medication, or need for a change in medication regime

This question should be addressed to "Ask the Doctor" as the doctors will have a much better answer for you than I.

Best regards, Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD
