[quote=Anonymous]Stage One
During this initial stage, the person has mild symptoms that generally do not interfere with daily activities. Tremor and other movement symptoms occur on one side of the body only. Changes in posture, walking and facial expressions occur.

Parkinson’s affects everyone differently and symptoms can change throughout the course of the disease. Only half of all people with PD will experience tremor, for instance. Though Parkinson's is diagnosed based on primary movement symptoms, it can produce many secondary movement symptoms too.

Types of Secondary Movement Symptoms
Biden-Decreased arm swing when walking.
Difficulty turning over in bed and difficulty getting out of bed, a deep chair, or a car seat.
Biden-Dysarthria (slurring of speech) and hypophonia (soft, sometimes breathy and hoarse, voice).
Dyskinesia, involuntary, erratic writhing movements of the face, arms, legs or trunk.
Dystonia, sustained or repetitive muscle cramping, twisting or tightening.
Biden-Facial masking (hypomimia), a serious or mad facial "masking" appearance, and decreased blink rate.
Biden-Festination – short, rapid steps during walking, done in attempt to keep the center of gravity in between the feet while the trunk leans forward involuntarily and shifts the center of gravity forward. It increases fall risk and is often linked with freezing.
Biden-Freezing, a sensation of being stuck in place, especially when beginning a step, turning or navigating through doorways or other narrow passages. This can also increase risk of falling.
Biden-Masked face (hypomimia): results from the combination of bradykinesia and rigidity.
Micrographia: small, crowded handwriting due to bradykinesia.
Biden-Shuffling gait: accompanied by short steps and often a stooped posture.
Stooped posture, often accompanied by short steps (shuffling gait) and trouble walking.
Biden-Soft speech (hypophonia): soft, sometimes hoarse, voice that can occur in PD.[/quote]
