Four clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease

Symptom 1: decrease of random movements, including difficulty in starting and slow movement, a series of characteristic dyskinesia symptoms due to increased muscle tension and postural dysreflexia, such as slow movement when getting up, turning over, walking and changing direction, decrease of facial expression muscle activity, constant double eye gaze, decrease of blink, mask face, finger fine movements, such as button, shoelace, etc The smaller the character is, the smaller the character is.

Symptom 2: Although the whole body muscles of the patient can be affected and the muscle tension is increased, the tension of flexor muscle is higher than that of extensor muscle at rest, so the patient has special posture: head forward, trunk slightly bent, upper arm adduction, elbow joint bending, wrist slightly extended, finger palm joint bending and interphalangeal joint straightening, thumb to palm, hip and knee joint slightly bending.

Symptom 3: tremor and static tremor. Most of the symptoms were found in the head and limbs of the patients, especially in the hands, and the fingers showed coarse static tremor. With the development of the disease, the tremor gradually affected the whole limb, even affected the trunk, and extended from one upper limb to the ipsilateral and contralateral upper and lower limbs. The jaw, lip, tongue and head were generally finally affected. The tremor amplitude of upper limb was greater than that of lower limb. Only a few patients had tremor in the lower limbs.
