Is there a body of literature distinguishing the "non-tremor form" of PD from other forms? Does this form go by other identifying names besides "non-tremor"? And how clear is the dichotomy between this and other forms? From Dr van der Linden's description, it sounds uncomfortably close to my situation, so I'd appreciate any sources to which anyone can point me.
