| definition |
Definition: “slowing of spontaneous and automatic movement that can make it difficult to perform simple tasks or rapidly perform routine movements”. Reduction of automatic movements (such as blinking or swinging your arms when walking). Difficulty initiating movements (like getting up out of a chair). Bradykinesia is defined as slowness of movement plus a decrement in amplitude/speed or progressive hesitations/halts as movements are continued. |

| Exclusion_criteria |
We scored as TRUE: bradykinesia, hypokinesia, akinesia, reduced arm swing and hypokinetic rigid syndrome*; starting problems; general slowness or slowing of movement. [Please note: we have decided to capture general slowness here, however we cannot be certain whether it refers to bradykinesia or bradyphrenia]. *Note: hypokinetic rigid syndrome was also scored as ‘Muscle rigidity’. We also scored as TRUE: freezing or freezing of gait and shuffling gaits. We did NOT score: hypomimia; mask-like facial expression; altered mimic. These were scored separately as 'Facial masking'. We did NOT score: bradyphrenia (slowness in thinking, says more about cognitive functioning). We did NOT score: dyskinesia; monotonic voice; bradycardia (heart beat slow). These were not scored anywhere. We did NOT score: dysdiadochokinesis; this was scored separately in ‘Loss of coordination’. CAUTION: “general slowness” can also be written down as a reference for “bradyphrenia”. However, this is often not specified. We decided to score it here but be aware of the possible meanings. |
