Bradykinesia
As rigidity progresses, movement becomes slow (bradykinesia), diminished (hypokinesia) or absent (akinesia), clumsy and difficult to initiate. Bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor often cause problems with fine hand and arm movement.

Bradykinesia
In pathology, bradykinesia is an abnormal slowness of physical movement, especially as a symptom of Parkinson's disease.
Bradykinesia: Slowed ability to start and continue movements, and impaired ability to adjust the body's position. Can be a symptom of neurological disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease, or a side effect of medications.
bradykinesia (slowness of movement)
postural instability, or impaired balance and coordination
Dopamine is a substance produced in the body which has many effects, including smooth and coordinated muscle movement.
Bradykinesia - Bradykinesia is a generalized slowness of movement. It eventually affects everyone with Parkinson disease, and may result in feelings of incoordination, weakness, or tiredness.

Bradykinesia is also expressed as micrographia (small handwriting), hypomimia (decreased facial expression), decreased blink rate, and hypophonia (soft speech).

Bradykinesia: Bradykinesia simply means abnormally slow movement. It comes from two Greek words-bradys and kinçsis-bradys means slow or slowly, and kinçsis means movement.

Slowed motion (bradykinesia). Over time, Parkinson's disease may cause a slow, shuffling walk with an unsteady gait and stooped posture. And certain muscles may freeze up, making it hard to resume normal movement.
Slowness of motion (bradykinesia) is one of the classic symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Patients may eventually develop a stooped posture and a slow, shuffling walk. The gait can be erratic and unsteady.
Slow movements (bradykinesia) are typical as rigidity progresses. Movement also becomes decreased (hypokinesia) and difficult to initiate (akinesia).

Benzodiazepines, such as clonazepam, or baclofen, starting at l0mg/day and increasing up to 60 mg may relieve stiffness, but may also increase bradykinesia.
The four primary symptoms of PD are tremor, or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; rigidity, or stiffness of the limbs and trunk; bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural instability, or impaired balance and coordination.

Pallidal stimulation significantly controls all classic symptoms of Parkinson's disease (tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia) as well as dyskinesia.
A group of disorders which feature impaired motor control characterized by bradykinesia, MUSCLE RIGIDITY; TREMOR; and postural instability.
Definition Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive movement disorder marked by tremors, rigidity, slow movements (bradykinesia), and posture instability.
People with Parkinson’s disease also experience rigidity of the arms, legs, and trunk and eventually develop bradykinesia, which is a slowness of movement that includes sudden freezing of muscle movement.
The four primary symptoms of Parkinson's disease are tremor, or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; rigidity, or stiffness of the limbs and trunk; bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural instability, ...
Deep brain stimulation of the thalamus is effective in reducing tremor. It does not affect slow movement (bradykinesia), stiffness (rigidity), or other symptoms.1
