I am quite interested to find out as follows:
1. What is the characteristic of Parkinsonian handwriting?
2. Is it possible to analysis from the stroke level of writing to identifying the stages of PD's progression?
3. Is PD medication helpful for Parkinsonian handwriting?
4. How to distinguish handwriting between parkinsonian and non parkinsonian?
5. Is it a habit? Thanks TEO KIM HOE

Handwriting is typically small and given the name micrographia. Most treatments are ineffective. Occassionally medications and/or occupational therapy help the handwriting. There is no way to track disease progression through handwriting. There is no way to use it to distinguish between disorders._________________Michael S. Okun, M.D.
