Bradykinesia, tremor, micrographia
QuestionChoice
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition caused by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. This results in a classic triad of features: bradykinesia, tremor, and rigidity. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease are characteristically asymmetrical.

a
Bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity
QuestionChoice
Rigidity and tremor are common motor symptoms seen in Parkinson's disease. However, postural hypertension is not typically seen in Parkinson's disease. Instead, postural hypotension is a non-motor feature that can affect patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

e
Tremor, rigidity and postural hypertension
QuestionChoice
Rigidity and tremor are common motor symptoms seen in Parkinson's disease. Although depression is also common, affecting around 40% of patients with Parkinson's disease, it is not a core motor feature. This is therefore not the correct answer.

d
Rigidity, tremor, depression
QuestionChoice
While rigidity and tremor are commonly seen in Parkinson's disease, chorea is not. Chorea involves involuntary jerking movements that are more typical of Huntington's disease. This is therefore not the correct answer.
