The parkinsonian syndrome, or parkinsonism, is a syndrome characterized by tremor, muscular rigidity and loss of postural reflexes [226]. The largest number of cases of parkinsonism falls in the category of Parkinson’s disease (also known as primary parkinsonism, paralysis agitans or shaking palsy) which has no definable cause. Patients with the so called secondary parkinsonism (known also as symptomatic parkinsonism) have other symptoms besides the parkinsonian ones.
