masked face and cogwheel rigidity Explanation: Cogwheel rigidity: where a tremor is superimposed on the hypertonia, making the movement irregular due to intermittent increase and reduction of tone. What does ‘masked face’ mean? Hypomimia is a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease. [...] If you have Parkinson’s masked face, your facial motor control isn’t working as they usually would. This causes a disconnect between what you’re thinking, saying, or feeling with how your face appears to others. A person with Parkinson’s masked face may seem uninterested or uncaring, even when the opposite is true. They may also look angry, sad, or completely free of emotion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2021-07-16 20:19:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Synonyms: Amimia; Expressionless face; Lack of facial expression; Mask-like facial appearance; Masklike facies https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/medgen/140860 Example sentence(s):
