Motor manifestations: Tremor involving extremities at first, often progressing to trunk and head, reduced facial expression, shuffling gait, difficulties initiating behavior, and "freezing" episodes are typical. Medications help, and in some cases deep brain stimulation is considered. Activity therapy can also improve quality of life.
