* The classic motor features of PD include rigidity, asymmetric resting tremors, bradykinesia, shuffling gait (festination, falls, block turn, freezing), and postural instability. In addition, patients may develop hypophonia (soft/hoarse voice), dysphagia, and drooling, micrographia, and seborrhea. As the disease progresses, patients may developing orthostatic hypotension due to progressive destruction of dopaminergic neurons. | * The classic motor features of PD include rigidity, asymmetric resting tremors, bradykinesia, shuffling gait (festination, falls, block turn, freezing), and postural instability.
