J showed some restriction in his movement, but he was not
bradykinetic.
While commonalities exist between the obstacle-crossing behaviors displayed by subjects with PD and CTRL subjects, the crossing behavior demonstrated by the subjects with PD reflects
bradykinetic gait patterning that was not exacerbated by the presence of an obstacle.

bradykinetic rigid syndromes: a retrospective study, J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry.
1) HD is a progressive autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by involuntary choreiform movements, psychiatric manifestations with cognitive decline and, rarely, a bradykinetic rigidity.
The dementia was of a moderate to severe degree, and no patient had a picture of bradykinetic rigidity.
In NPH patients, the gait is commonly characterized as wide-based, short-stepped, shuffling, and
bradykinetic.
EPS are characterized as either hyperkinetic (excessive movements) or
bradykinetic (diminished movements).
Patients who presented with tremor were on average age 55 years at onset, compared with patients who presented with
bradykinetic rigidity (age 50 years at onset).
Parkinsonism associated with HIV is described as symmetric and mostly
bradykinetic.
In addition, early signs of a movement disorder may be interpreted as tardive dyskinesia, or the patient may develop the
bradykinetic form of HD and , not show significant amounts of chorea.
