Brain 综述：帕金森病中的僵直

Rigidity, along with bradykinesia and tremor, is recognized as one of the core motor symptoms fundamental to the clinical diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Despite its diagnostic relevance, rigidity has received comparatively less systematic investigation than other motor symptoms, resulting in gaps in our understanding of its phenomenology, neurophysiological correlates and response to therapeutic interventions such as deep brain stimulation. This narrative review aims critically to examine and clarify the current conceptual ambiguities, assessment strategies and pathophysiological underpinnings associated with rigidity in Parkinson’s disease.We begin by discussing the wide range of phenomena described by the term ‘rigidity’ in neurological and non-neurological fields and highlight the inconsistencies that arise in its clinical interpretation. We review and compare the clinical and instrumental approaches that are currently used to assess rigidity, emphasizing their respective strengths, limitations and contributions to a more precise characterization of rigidity in Parkinson’s disease. We end with a summary of molecular, neuroimaging and neurophysiological insights into the pathophysiology of rigidity.In summary, we seek to consolidate existing knowledge, underscore unresolved questions and suggest new solutions for existing gaps with the hope of providing a conceptual and methodological foundation to guide future clinical and experimental research in the field.
