Hypokinesia is one of the classifications of movement disorders, and refers to decreased bodily movement.[1] Hypokinesia is characterized by a partial or complete loss of muscle movement due to a disruption in the basal ganglia.[citation needed] Hypokinesia is a symptom of Parkinson's disease shown as muscle rigidity and an inability to produce movement. It is also associated with mental health disorders and prolonged inactivity due to illness, amongst other diseases.
The other category of movement disorder is hyperkinesia that features an exaggeration of unwanted movement, such as twitching or writhing in Huntington's disease or Tourette syndrome.[2]
