Hi Tammy:
With parkinsons disease-it is characterized as involuntary tremolous motion 
with lessened motor power, in parts not in action and even when supported 
with a propensity to bend the trunk forwards and to pass from a walking to a 
running pace, the senses and intellect being unimpaired.
It is often seen in persons in their 50's and 60's.  Other symptoms include: 
increasing rigidity/tremor, immobility of facial expression (lion's face), 
slowness of movements and diminished swinging of the arms and heaviness in 
the limbs when walking.  They have a tendency to break into a run or trot.  
They may have difficulty in getting up in the chair, turning is difficult, 
fine movements such as buttoning a coat, brushing hair may be 
difficult.----Chusid, J.G.  Correlative Nueroanatomy and Functional

Good luck and take care.
