Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parkinson's disease is characterized by tremors (such as a shaking hand), rigidity or stiffness of the limbs, and difficulties with movement and coordination, particularly when getting into and out of chairs. However, it does not typically affect cognitive abilities, so someone with Parkinson's disease can remain mentally sharp. Alzheimer's disease, on the other hand, primarily affects cognitive abilities, while Huntington's disease primarily affects movement, but neither usually produces the combination of symptoms described. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a respiratory disorder and not related to the symptoms described.
