Abstract

For many years after the first description of the disease by James Parkinson in 1817, tremor and rigidity have been known as two main motor symptoms of paralysis agitans. In recent years akinesia has also been recognized as being equally or perhaps even more important than these two symptoms in the disease’s symptomatology, although the term “akinesia” is still not clearly defined. Whether or not tremor and rigidity are separately understood in regard to their generating mechanisms has not been sufficiently investigated.
