Bradykinesia has been shown to precede impairment of executive functions, working memory, and attention. [ 11 ] [ 31 ] These cognitive deficiencies can be tied to nonfunction of the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex , which is also linked to the motor-dysfunction of hypokinesia. [ 11 ]
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.
Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by tremor, bradykinesia (slowed movements), rigidity, and postural instability. [1] [2] Both hypokinetic (bradykinesia and akinesia) as well as hyperkinetic (cogwheel rigidity and tremors at rest) features are displayed by Parkinsonism. [3]

Hypokinetic movement disorders fall into one of four subcategories: akinesia (lack of movement), hypokinesia (reduced amplitude of movements), bradykinesia (slow movement), and rigidity. In primary movement disorders, the abnormal movement is the primary manifestation of the disorder.
A four-year-old girl died after being attacked by a dog in the back garden of a home in Milton Keynes
In one trial it was found that bradyphrenia as well as bradykinesia, could be treated using the combination of a L-DOPA and carbidopa regimen. This combination was believed to alter these effects of Parkinson's disease. [24] In the short term, this combination had brought positive results as behaviours of these patients had improved. [24]
