Abstract
Some simple, objective, quantitative tests for rigidity and tremor in Parkinson''s disease are described. These tests were not designed to be diagnostic but to provide quantitative measurements of the patient''s disabilities, which have corresponded well with the impression gained from clinical examination. The tests have been used to assess the results of surgical treatment.Keywords
