hello there
sometimes clinical examination does not require tests . and findings that are suggestive of the problem.. the gait too is disturbed and is classical.. so as long as you benefit from the treatment and symptoms like tremors fall into the category . tests are not required.. parkinsonism many a times is a spotter for medical students.
hope we understand
