3. Arm doesn’t swing freely.
Doctors have also listed “reduced arm swing” condition as one of the signs of Parkinson’s but a good number of patients tend to overlook the condition. It can as well be described as a subtle stiffness or reduced range of motion. Patients will start having increased tone because the muscles have become very stiff and more limited. The arm just can not stretch as far as the brain dictates. Some individuals notice this when walking. One of the arm swing more frequent than the other. To distinguish this symptom from injury or arthritis, Parkinson’s condition doesn’t have joint problems and no pain.
