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.
