Parkinson's Disease and Handwriting - Occupational Therapy Can Get You Back on the Right Page 

Over time, handwriting can change, especially with age, tremors, and changes in vision, and strength.

It is a result of the same brain processes that affect the amplitude of other movements in the body.
