There is another neurological problem called normal pressure hydrocephalus... which can mimic PD and Alzheimer's.

It presents with a slow, shuffling gate, and incontinence.

Please read up on this... as it is very very different from PD, but has some similar symptoms.

You can google it further for more information.
