As we know that Parkinson’s is a disease relates to movement disorder, then we call motor symptoms.
There are many motor symptoms, the important most are:
- tremor
- hypokinesia
- rigidity
Parkinson’s patients experience tremor or rhythmic shaking in some part or their body such as:
- legs
- chin
- arms
- hands
- feet
Two kinds of tremors are rest tremors and active tremors:
- Rest tremor refers to shaking of body parts when patients on relaxing mood.
- Active tremor occurs when patients eager to active such as to drink. Water may out of the cup due to hand shaking uncontrollable.
Hypokinesia is conditions where patients face with movements which are:
- reduction
- slowness
- there is no movement at all in some conditions.
Rigidity is stiffness, usually painful in parts of body, include:
- neck
- back muscles
