Answer

Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, was the condition Weston was diagnosed with in 1947. It is characterized by tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, and impaired balance. The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be related to a loss of nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control movement.
