I got wondering about his rigidity so I looked it up and found this on the front page of this site. Dad didn't ever develop this part. If you want to read more on Parkinson here is the site: http://www.pdf.org/AboutPD/symptoms.cfm
Rigidity: Rigidity, also called increased muscle tone, means stiffness or inflexibility of the muscles. Muscles normally stretch when they move, and then relax when they are at rest. In rigidity, the muscle tone of an affected limb is always stiff and does not relax, sometimes resulting in a decreased range of motion. For example, a person who has rigidity may not be able to swing his or her arms when walking because the muscles are too tight. Rigidity can cause pain and cramping.
