Background
- Extrapyramidal movement disorder associated with reduced dopaminergic receptors in substantia nigra
Clinical Features
- TRAP mnemonic:
- Tremor (resting)
- Initially is unilateral tremor of upper extremity, esp finger and thumb ("pill rolling")
- Dissipates when intentional movement is performed
- Rigidity (cogwheel)
- Elicited by causing passive movement of limb through full range of motion
- Akinesia
- Slowness of voluntary movement
- Posture/equilibrium impairment
- Impaired ability to turn or change direction while walking
- Tremor (resting)
Differential Diagnosis
Dementia
- Degenerative
- Alzheimer's disease
- Huntington's disease

Diagnosis
Treatment
- Dopamine agonists
