It’s most commonly a symptom of Parkinson Disease. 
- It reduces your ability to move and slow your movement, making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming

Signs & Symptoms:

  • shuffling when walking
  • dragging one or both feet when walking
  • having little or no facial expressions
  • freezing — muscle reactions may slow to the point that the muscles become immobile, or freeze, for a period of time
