Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Micrographia (small handwriting) and bradykinesia (slowness of movement) are commonly noted in clients with Parkinson's disease. Macrographia refers to abnormally large handwriting and is not typical in Parkinson's disease. Exaggeration of rapid successive movements is seen in hyperkinetic disorders such as chorea or athetosis, which are not typically associated with Parkinson's disease. Increased arm swing is also not typically seen in Parkinson's disease and may actually decrease as the disease progresses.
