parkinson's symptoms
What Are the Motor Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease? People are usually more familiar with the motor symptoms of PD, as these are the signs of the disease that are noticeable from the outside. These symptoms, known as the cardinal symptoms of PD, include: 1  Bradykinesia (slowness of movement) -- slowing down and loss of spontaneous and voluntary movement. 2  Rigidity -- unusual stiffness in a limb or other body part.
Parkinsonâs is mostly diagnosed in older individuals, and it is very important to be watchful of the early signs, since the disorder progresses with time. Here are some of the signs and symptoms associated with Parkinsonâs disease; individuals over age 50 who exhibit them in particular should receive medical attention as soon as possible. 1. Tremors. One of the earliest and most widely occurring symptoms across all patients suffering from Parkinsonâs is resting tremors. The typical modality of presentation in the early stages is the trembling or shaking of one finger. The movement may also be witnessed in the hand or foot on one side of the body or, in rare cases, in the face or jaw.
