parkinsonism - the name given to a group of disorders with similar features; four primary symptoms, including tremor, rigidity, postural instability, and bradykinesia, resulting from the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells.
Parkinsonism
'Parkinsonism' means the features of Parkinson's disease but due to other conditions. Many patients develop signs suggestive of parkinsonism with slowness of movement and increased muscle tone (rigidity).

Parkinsonism is the term used to describe the syndrome of tremor, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia and abnormalities of gait. Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the most common cause.
Parkinsonism caused by neuroleptic drugs
Symptoms
TD causes repetitive movements. Movements usually occur in the face, mouth, limbs, or trunk. The movements are involuntary and serve no purpose. They may occur occasionally or all of the time.

These disorders are caused by different genetic mutations, and the signs and symptoms vary, but usually include chorea (involuntary, dance-like movements), parkinsonism (slowness of movement), dystonia (abnormal body postures), and problems walking.
