Cleveland Clinic website

This site has information regarding Parkinson’s, its symptoms, and how the disease is diagnosed. The website also has information on the outlook of the disease. While the site does include information about symptoms, there is very little detail to go along with it.

NYU medical website

The information included on this site was not very impressive. While the site does include information about the disease, it is not done in a very explanatory manner. Most of the information is written in a short, bullet point format. The information is great if you already understand the disease and are looking for a quick-read update.

We Move website

This site sets up its information in a very different way. Instead of having to skim through the site to find the information you want, the site is set up like a table of contents. This made finding information very quick and easy. The site also has great information for medical professionals. The site however does not include any graphics.

NINDS website

This is a great website for information about Parkinson’s Disease (I chose this one myself!) It has tons of information including research literature and clinical trials. The site doesn’t include many graphics, but does have links to other PD organizations that have graphics.

Clevland Clinic website:

This website provides a good overview of Parkinson’s disease and specifics about symptoms and treatment. This seems like it would be a good website for someone suffering from Parkinson’s disease and looking for a provider, because of the ease of making an appointment from the website. I wish the website incorporated more graphics.

NYU Medical Center website:

This link did not work correctly, but when I searched the website I was taken to
http://www.med.nyu.edu/patientcare/library...html?ChunkIID=11632
Which provided some information about Parkinson’s disease and a lot of in-depth information about treatment options. This website provided good information, but was not presented in a reader-friendly way. I would have liked for the website to incorporate more graphics. This was a more academic approach to talking about the disease because it comes from a medical school.

We Move website:

This website provides substantial information about Parkinson’s and other movement disorders. I especially liked the link to the videos “What if…” that demonstrate what it is like to suffer from many movement disorders including Parkinson’s disease. I also think the open chat room is a great thing for people suffering from movement disorders looking for support from others who understand what they are going through. My only criticism of this website is a lack of graphics.

NINDS Parkinson’s disease website:

As I said before, this website is a great resource for information about Parkinson’s disease and up to date research. The side links to related NINDS publications provide extensive information about what NINDS is doing to combat and understand Parkinson’s disease. The featured link: Parkinson’s Disease: Challenges, Progress, and Promise, is also a fabulous resource for Parkinson’s disease information.

CLEVELAND CLINIC:

This site provides a good basic tutorial on Parkinson’s Disease. I especially liked the section on Deep Brain Stimulation. Lack of information for caregivers.

NYU MEDICAL CENTER

Link did not work precisely. When you click the link a page pops up that tells you basically “no dice”. I could not find the “surgery” that you referred to. I was able to access the home page of the site and searched Parkinson’s. The site provided good basic information about Parkinson’s and appealing graphics. Like the previous site, I could not find information, resources, etc for the caregivers of those afflicted.


WEMOVE

This is a pretty cool site! Not only a basic overview of Parkinson’s but coverage of some in depth issues such as possible environmental factors and genetics. But best of all, you can clink a link that takes you to a video of a mime performing various movement disorders to include Parkinson’s. There is a voice over that accompanies the mime and you get a very good idea of what the disorder/disease feels like. No negative here!

NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS:

An impressive comprehensive site for information about Parkinson’s. A great deal of resource material available for caregivers and those afflicted as well. Poor graphics.

http://cms.clevelandclinic.org/neuroscience/body.cfm?id=142

I chose this website because it tells you what causes the disease and who gets this Parkinson's disease.

http://www.med.nyu.edu/neurosurgery/subspecialty/movement_1.html

I chose this website because it tells you how the disease works and step by step process how the sugery works.

http://www.wemove.org/par/

This website is called "WE MOVE"(worldwide education and awareness for movement disorder) and I found it a great sourse of information. When you first open the page all these different topics come up and you can click on anyone that interest you and read more into it and some of them even have short videos you can watch.

I chose this website because I found it to be very helpful in understanding what Parkinson's disease is. Also I think this website answers questions a lot of people might have such as is there any treatments?, what is the prognosis? and what other research is being done?

My topic is Parkinson's disease which is a disorder that affects nerve cells or neurons in a part of the brain that controls muscle movement. I chose this disease because I have worked with patients in the hospital that have Parkinson's and It has to do with the nerve cells which we have we have talked about in class.
