Bradykinesia: Research papers

Movement orientation switching with the eyes and lower limb in Parkinson disease In PD, switch time and movement velocity of the lower limb, but not the eyes, correlated with bradykinesia and postural instability/gait. Study results suggest that individuals with PD experience movement-switching deficits with both the eyes and lower limb, perhaps driven by overall bradykinesia. 18 January 2012
Progressive Resistance Exercise and Parkinson's Disease: A Review of Potential Mechanisms This paper reviews the therapeutically beneficial effects of progressive resistance exercise (PRE) on Parkinson's disease (PD). First, this paper discusses the rationale for PRE in PD. Second, it reviews recent findings of the use of PRE in individuals with PD. 01 December 2011
Association between essential tremor and Parkinson's disease The prevalence of PD in the population with essential tremor was 24 times greater than expected. This study suggests that some patients with essential tremor have genetically increased risk for PD. 07 October 2004
