Parkinson's has symptoms of tremor, a shuffling rigid walk, stooped posture, expressionless or blank face, and muscular rigidity. However, some of these symptoms overlap with other diseases. Only a physician can diagnose neurological disorders.
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that can cause tremors at rest and a shuffling gait. It is characterized by a decrease in dopamine production in the brain, leading to movement difficulties and other symptoms such as rigidity and bradykinesia. Treatment typically involves medications to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
A disease of adults, characterized by a diffuse rigidity and hardness of the skin.
Parkinson's disease is characterized by four cardinal motor symptoms: postural instability, bradykinesia (slowed movements), tremor, and rigidity. Bradykinesia is known for slowness of movement and can make daily tasks more challenging. Rigidity means stiffness of muscles, which can lead to limitation and discomfort in movement. Postural instability means maintaining a balance that causes falls. Tremor is mostly known as "pill-rolling," which generally happens at rest and affects the jaw, tongue, face, and limbs. Additionally, these motor symptoms, such as Parkinson's disease, can be present with non-motor symptoms like anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, and sleep abnormalities.
The least common of the three major types, silent thyroiditis is characterized by rigidity and slight enlargement of the thyroid gland.
Catalepsy is a medical condition characterized by a trancelike state with lack of response to external stimuli. It is often associated with certain mental health disorders such as schizophrenia or certain types of epilepsy. Symptoms can include rigidity of the body, decreased sensitivity to pain, and maintaining a fixed posture for extended periods.
Drugs that are given to treat chorea suppress the activity of dopamine in the basal ganglia but may also produce such undesirable side effects as muscular rigidity or drowsiness.
rigidity, loss of control, elevated NO-->increases blood flow---> increases bp! insulin resistance therefore leads to diabetes which causes catabolism therefore weakness
parkinson disease
It is defined as ratio of the product of modulus of rigidity and polar moment of inertia to the length of the shaft. Torsional Rigidity is caluclated as: Torsional Rigidity= C J/l
Rigidity = spiralness + spinginess
In chemistry the rigidity is related to chemical bonds in a molecule.
