Which of the following statements best describes parkinsonism?

Correct answer is B). Parkinsonism is a group of neurological syndromes characterized by motor symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease, including bradykinesia (slowness of movement), tremors, and rigidity. While Parkinson's disease is a specific type of parkinsonism, there are other parkinsonian syndromes with similar symptoms but distinct underlying causes. A) Incorrect. Parkinsonism is a broader term encompassing conditions beyond Parkinson's disease, including atypical parkinsonian syndromes. C) Incorrect. Parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease are related but not synonymous. Parkinsonism is the broader category that includes various parkinsonian syndromes. D) Incorrect. The description in option D does not accurately represent parkinsonism; it appears to describe a different condition altogether. Parkinsonism is primarily characterized by motor symptoms, not unusual facial expressions or emotional instability.
