Movement disorders are prevalent in the elderly and may have both central and peripheral origins. Age-related parkinsonism often results in movement disorders identical to some of the cardinal symptoms of typical Parkinson's disease (TPD). Nevertheless, there may be limited similarity in the underlying dysfunction of the sensory-motor circuitry since these two conditions exhibit different changes in the nigro-striatal pathway. In this short review, we highlight some of the key distinctions between aging and TPD regarding striatal dopaminergic activity and discuss them in the context of therapeutic strategies to alleviate motor decline in the elderly.
