My grandad who has Parkinson’s had a fall about 3 months ago and hasn’t had much strength since but also his symptoms of Parkinson’s seem to be worse.

YES, There is good evidence that Parkinsons desease symptoms can be exacerbated by head injury.
Maybe he suffered a concussion? Did you get him checked out by doctors?
Yes. He should go tell his doctor about it, and if he doesn’t you should.
absolutely. parkinson’s disease is a neurological disease, and is directly related to an underproduction of dopamine in certain parts of the brain. a severe blow to the head will definitely affect symptoms, thank of Muhammed Ali….repeated blows to the head may have actually caused his Parkinsons.
