Cаse study A Bаckgrоund: A 48-yeаr-оld wоman gradually developed difficulty with handwriting and typing,saying that her fingers were stiff and slow. In addition, her gait became unsteady, and she had several falls. She was treated with levodopa (to increase dopamine concentration) plus carbidopa (to maintain dopamine levels for longer) with no significant benefit. When examined 5 years after symptom onset, she had a normal mental status, slow eye movements, blunted affect (diminished movements for emotional expression), dysarthric speech, prominent bilateral bradykinesia and rigidity, especially of the axial and neck muscles, no tremor, and a slow, shuffling gait. There was no evidence of autonomic dysfunction, ataxia, or dementia.
