10 Huntington's Disease Symptoms
2. Slow Movements
Bradykinesia is the medical term used to describe the slowing of normal movement velocity. It is usually seen as the body not being able to perform regular movements swiftly on command. It is associated with many conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease.
For patients with Huntington’s disease, slow movements of the extremities are a sign of disease progression. As the condition evolves, the involuntary movements seen in the early stages are progressively replaced by symptoms that resemble a person with Parkinson’s disease. Bradykinesia is usually associated with a marked impairment to perform everyday movements in a regular fashion.
