Manifestations for patients with Parkinson's disease include tremors which normally begin in the limbs often with hands and fingers. These tremors often occur even at rest and are early motor manifestations.
Overtime, a patient with Parkinson's disease experiences bradykinesia which is slowed movements, and is associated with fine finger movements.
Other signs and symptoms include impaired posture and balance, loss of automatic movements, and speech changes which can be characterized by soft, quick, or hesitations before speaking.
Patient's with late motor manifestations often experience motor fluctuations, dyskinesia, gait freezing, and falls.
Late non-motor manifestations in a patient with Parkinson's disease can include dysphagia, neuropsychiatric symptoms which include hallucinations, autonomic disturbances which include sweating, and seborrheic dermatitis.
