I'm curious if anyone finds it easier to move when weights are used. I have bradykinesia in my right elbow. If I hold a 5 lb dumbell, I can move my arm faster than if my hand is empty. I also find that I can raise my arm above my head faster when hold a weight. Another trick I found is that when seated in a chair, it is easier to get up if I hold weights in both hands and extend my arms straight out in front of me parallel to the floor. Does anyone have similar experiences to share?
