Paved sidewalks are âpedestrian lanesâ that provide people with space to travel within the public right-of-way separated from motor vehicles and on-road bicycles. They should have a level, hard surface and be separated from motor vehicle traffic by a curb, buffer or curb with buffer.
(1) Bradykinesia is a Greek term that means slow movement, and it is one of the constituents of Parkinson's disease (2), although it is also associated with other diseases. For patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, it is usually the most tiring and frustrating of the associated conditions.
The term bradykinesia was first used by James Parkinson to describe one of the cardinal features of the disease that now bears his name. It is now recognized, however, that bradykinesia may be part of the motor dysfunction in many movement disorders. Bradykinesia is often used synonymously with two other terms: akinesia and hypokinesia. Strictly speaking, bradykinesia describes the slowness of a performed movement, whereas akinesia refers to a poverty of spontaneous movement (e.g. in facial expression) or associated movement (e.g. arm swing during walking).
