2. Signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signs_and_symptoms_of...

   Four motor symptoms are considered cardinal signs in PD: slowness of movement (bradykinesia), tremor, rigidity, and postural instability. [1] Typical for PD is an initial asymmetric distribution of these symptoms, where in the course of the disease, a gradual progression to bilateral symptoms develops, although some asymmetry usually persists.

3. Parkinsonism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinsonism

   Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by the four motor symptoms found in Parkinson's disease: tremor, bradykinesia (slowed movements), rigidity, and postural instability. [1] [2] Parkinsonism gait problems can lead to falls and serious physical injuries. Other common symptoms include:

4. Parkinson-plus syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson-plus_syndrome

   Parkinson-plus syndromes (PPS) are a group of neurodegenerative [1] diseases featuring the classical features of Parkinson's disease (tremor, rigidity, akinesia/bradykinesia, and postural instability) with additional features that distinguish them from simple idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD).

5. Parkinsonian gait - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinsonian_gait

   Parkinsonian gait (or festinating gait, from Latin festinare [to hurry]) is the type of gait exhibited by patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). [2] It is often described by people with Parkinson's as feeling like being stuck in place, when initiating a step or turning, and can increase the risk of falling. [3]

6. Hypokinesia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypokinesia

   Some Parkinson's patients are unable to move during sleep, prompting the diagnosis of "nocturnal hypokinesia". Physicians have experienced success treating this sleep disorder with slow-release or night-time dopaminergic drugs, and in some cases, continuous stimulation by the dopamine agonist rotigotine .

7. Multiple system atrophy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_system_atrophy

   Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder [1] characterized by tremors, slow movement, muscle rigidity, postural instability (collectively known as parkinsonism), autonomic dysfunction and ataxia.

8. Gait deviations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_deviations

   Physically widening the distance between feet in a standing posture increases the structural stability of the body by widening the base of support or foundation. [36] External lateral support mechanisms have been used to isolate the variable of balance in able-bodied subjects and succeeded in reducing both metabolic cost and step width. [ 37 ]

9. Management of Parkinson's disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_Parkinson's...

   In the management of Parkinson's disease, due to the chronic nature of Parkinson's disease (PD), a broad-based program is needed that includes patient and family education, support-group services, general wellness maintenance, exercise, and nutrition. At present, no cure for the disease is known, but medications or surgery can provide relief ...
