parkinsonism
Rigidity and tremor
Parkinsonism is a medical term for a cluster of movement symptoms: tremor, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, and impaired balance.
While Parkinson's disease is the most common cause, parkinsonism can result from other conditions, medications, or toxins.
Doctors distinguish between the syndrome (parkinsonism) and the specific disease: The antipsychotic caused drug-induced parkinsonism.
