Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rigidity and tremors in the arms are hallmark symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. Alzheimer's disease and presenile dementia primarily affect cognitive function and memory, and are unlikely to cause rigidity and tremors. Food poisoning from eating a puffer fish may cause gastrointestinal symptoms but not rigidity and tremors in the arms.
