It usually started from one side of the upper limb, and gradually spread to the ipsilateral lower limb, contralateral upper limb and lower limb, showing n-shaped progress (65% - 70%); 25% ～ 30% of the cases can start from one side of the lower limb, and it is rare for both sides of the lower limb to start at the same time.

It is caused by the increase of balance tension of active and antagonistic muscles. If it always exists in passive motion, it is called lead tube rigidity or tension. If it is accompanied by tremor, it can feel gear like feeling in passive motion, it is called gear like rigidity or tension.
