• Rigidity is an increase in muscle tone leading to a resistance to passive movement that can induce joint stiffness and limited range of motion, which might be distressing for patients.
• Levodopa may provide partial and temporary relief of the akinetic–rigid symptoms of HD, especially in juvenile forms (Grade C).
• Treatment with levodopa should be started gradually and the total daily dose is usually lower than in Parkinson's disease.
• Physiotherapy is recommended to improve or maintain mobility and prevent the development of contractures and joint deformity (Grade C).
