Physical exam demonstrates tremors in the hands at rest, and fingers exhibit “pill-rolling” movement. The patient’s face is not mobile and exhibits a mask-like appearance. His gait is uneven, and he shuffles when he walks, and his head/neck, hips, and knees are flexed forward. He exhibits jerky or cogwheeling movement.
