Muscular weakness

  • This is reduced isokinetic strength in PD
  • It is not related to tremor or rigidity
  • It may be influenced by bradykinesia
  • It occurs later in the disease course
  • It is worse with heavier rather than lighter loads
  • It presents with reduced walking speed and falls
