Introduction[edit | edit source]
Parkinsonism is a constellation of signs and symptoms that are characteristically observed in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but that are not necessarily due to PD[1]. Parkinsonism is the primary type of hypokinetic movement disorder, manifesting as rigidity, tremors, and bradykinesia. Parkinsonism includes idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD), Parkinson-plus Syndromes, and vascular Parkinsonism (VaP), among other rarer causes of parkinsonism. Secondary causes of parkinsonism typically do not respond to levodopa therapy.[2][3]
