Abstract:

This literature review addresses the phenomenon of paradoxical kinesia (PK) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). PK is the sudden ability of the patient with PD to perform movements that were previously disturbed. This ability can be caused by different internal or environmental stressors. Different theories explaining the mechanism of paradoxical kinesia were proposed. In recent years, in the context of a search for new effective methods of treatment of akinesia in PD, methods of correction of motor impairment based on the phenomenon of PK are being developed.

Keywords:

Parkinson’s disease
paradoxical kinesia
motor impairment
akinesia
