Zusammenfassung:	Neurological assessment of certain movement disorders is described with emphasis on Parkinson's disease. In addition, abnormal behavior and changes in affect are given. Changes in neurological status, i.e., Bradykinesia, rigidity, gait changes, handwriting irregularity, postural reflexes are outlined. The differential diagnosis of the disease is also indicated in addition to prognosis and to the biochemical correlates of Parkinson's disease.
