There are five primary symptoms related to movement that your physician will evaluate when diagnosing if you have Parkinson’s. Their intensity may vary, as well as their progression. Some of the symptoms a medical professional will look for during your evaluation include the following:

• Tremors
• Slow movement or bradykinesia 
• Gait problems
• Rigidity
• Balance issues or unstable posture 

Some people may experience all of these symptoms, while some may only show one or two. In many cases, a movement disorder specialist or your neurologist will determine a diagnosis for Parkinson’s.
