Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, which manifests itself with motor symptoms such as slowness of movement (bradykinesia), tremors at rest (resting tremor) and muscle stiffness (rigor). The current diagnostic criteria require the presence of bradykinesia and at least one other motor symptom (tremor at rest or rigor).
