Rigidity, or resistance to movement, affects most patients and usually begins in the legs or neck. The affected muscles will remain tense and contracted, and some patients may feel pain as well as stiffness. Attempting to move the limb of a patient in Rigidity may lead to short, jerky movements called 'cog-wheeling'.
