bradikinézia

Bradikinesia is a medical term referring to the slowness of movement. It is a common motor symptom of several neurological conditions, most notably Parkinson's disease. Individuals experiencing bradikinesia may find it difficult to initiate and execute movements, leading to a reduction in the speed and amplitude of their actions. This can manifest as a slower walking pace, smaller handwriting, decreased facial expressiveness, and difficulty with fine motor tasks. The underlying cause of bradikinesia is typically a dysfunction in the basal ganglia, a part of the brain that plays a crucial role in controlling voluntary movement. Diagnosis usually involves a clinical examination by a neurologist, who will observe the patient's motor functions. While bradikinesia itself cannot be cured, treatments for the underlying conditions, such as medications for Parkinson's disease, can help manage the symptoms and improve motor control. Physical and occupational therapy are also often recommended to help patients adapt to and compensate for the slowness of movement.
