 Bradykinesia: Slowness of movement, including difficulty initiating and
executing movements.
 Rigidity: Stiffness or inflexibility of the limbs and trunk.
 Postural instability: Impaired balance and coordination, leading to difficulty in
maintaining an upright posture and increased risk of falls.

 Non-Motor Symptoms:
 Cognitive changes: Difficulty with memory, concentration, and executive
function.
 Depression and anxiety: Mood disorders commonly associated with Parkinson's.
 Sleep disturbances: Including insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and REM sleep
behavior disorder.
 Autonomic dysfunction: Symptoms such as constipation, urinary problems, and
orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure upon standing).
 Speech and swallowing difficulties: Slurred speech, soft voice, and difficulty
swallowing (dysphagia).
 Loss of sense of smell (anosmia) or changes in taste perception.
 Fatigue and weakness.
 Pain and sensory symptoms: Musculoskeletal pain, tingling, and numbness.
 Psychiatric symptoms: Hallucinations, delusions, and impulse control disorders in
some cases.

 Later-stage Symptoms:
 Freezing of gait: Episodes where a person feels as though their feet are glued to
the floor, making it difficult to walk.
 Dystonia: Involuntary muscle contractions causing twisting, repetitive movements
or abnormal postures.
 Dyskinesia: Involuntary, erratic, and uncontrollable movements, often as a side
effect of long-term levodopa use.

These symptoms can vary widely among individuals with Parkinson's disease and may progress
at different rates. It's important for individuals experiencing any of these symptoms to consult
with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management.
