Slowness

A feeling of slowness of "bradykinesia" is one of the cardinal symptoms of Parkinson's disease. People may have to concentrate very hard to carry out physical movements, or they may react more slowly to things going on in their environment

Parkinson's patient find difficulties to coordinate his body work together well.

There are exercises that the patient has to coordinate together with his body..

The slowness of movement contribute the incoordination to carry out physical exercise.

Some people also have trouble initiating movement.

Therefore they have to concentrate very hard to carry out their movement exercises. Thus it slowdown the movement when you carry out your exercises.

Hi Teo, I remember you from PDF. Yes, I agree, movement exercises are very helpful.
