parkinsons is treated with levodopa.Weakness and disbalance may or may not be reated to it.In any case,gabapentin ,and methycobalamin maybe added if your doctor agrees and physical therapy,back muscle exercises.
Parkinsons commonly affects finer movements,face muscles, tremors in hands,etc.A neurologist may be consulted for it.
stroke may be having some residual weakening on the affected side,unilaterally
