Watch VideosMy grandma has Parkinson's disease and she's had it for a while and it would just be really frustrating for her you know because she would just be shaking all the time and like it affected her sleep and different things in her mobility and you know she had to be really careful whenever she walked and then a few years ago she got this electrode treatment where they put it's called deep brain stimulation they put a thin wire called an electrode down into her brain and they just kind of found it was really interesting we always joked and like that she always said like i'm a robot or whatever but it was amazing once they found the right balance of controlling it she's been able to do amazing things
So my grandpa has Parkinson's disease and one of the cool treatments that he does is he goes to a special boxing gym in Las Vegas that's designed just for people with Parkinson's and they like box and jump rope and do all kinds of stuff like that to help treat their Parkinson's and it's helped him a lot. He's been able to do a lot of things that most people with Parkinson's can't do.
