• Muscle Rigidity

  Stiff muscles – Parkinson’s makes muscles rigid and slow moving. This tightness causes a reduced range of motion, and people may notice that one arm swings less than the other when walking. [ahchealthenews.com]

  Mild shaking or tremor in the fingers, hands or feet occur at the early stages of the disease and gradually worsen over time. Parkinson’s disease may occasionally occur without tremor. [ahchealthenews.com]

  Parkinson's signs and symptoms may include: Tremor. A tremor, or shaking, usually begins in a limb, often your hand or fingers. You may a rub your thumb and forefinger back-and-forth, known as a pill-rolling tremor. [mayoclinic.org]

  Typically, the tremor begins on one side of the body, usually in one hand. Tremors can also affect the arms, legs, feet, and face. [icdlist.com]

  Signs and symptoms include tremor which is most pronounced during rest, muscle rigidity, slowing of the voluntary movements, a tendency to fall back, and a mask-like facial expression. [icd10data.com]
