Hall of Fame running back and Southern University coach Marshall Faulk has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

Faulk revealed his diagnosis on the podcast “The Caring Neurologist” on Wednesday, telling the host, “I want to help as many people as I can.”

The 53-year-old Faulk said he was not experiencing “issues” beyond hand rigidity and a few tremors, thanks to medication. He doesn’t believe the symptoms have gotten worse in the 18 months he’s been dealing with the disease.

Faulk is in his first season as Southern’s coach after serving as running backs coach at Colorado. He played 12 NFL seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and St. Louis Rams, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.

名人堂跑卫、南方大学教练马歇尔·福克被诊断出患有帕金森病。

福克周三在播客节目“爱心神经科医生”中透露了自己的诊断结果，并告诉主持人：“我想尽我所能帮助更多的人。”

现年53岁的福克表示，多亏了药物治疗，除了手部僵硬和轻微震颤外，他没有出现其他“问题”。他认为，在与这种疾病抗争的18个月里，他的症状并没有恶化。

福克此前在科罗拉多大学担任跑卫教练，目前是南方大学橄榄球队的主教练，这是他执教的第一个赛季。他曾在NFL效力12个赛季，先后效力于印第安纳波利斯小马队和圣路易斯公羊队，并于2011年入选职业橄榄球名人堂。
