Bradykinesia

Bradykinesia is a medical term used to describe slowness of movement. It is often associated with conditions like Parkinson's disease, where a person's ability to initiate and control movement becomes impaired. This can result in slower walking, difficulty with fine motor tasks, or reduced facial expressions. Bradykinesia can make daily activities more challenging and may contribute to a decreased quality of life. The term comes from the Greek words "brady," meaning slow, and "kinesis," meaning movement. Treatment may include medication, physical therapy, and exercises aimed at improving mobility and coordination.
