Hello,
It is necessary to undergo tests such as brain and spine MRI in order to understand correctly the cause of paraparesis. If any abnormality will be found in these examinations, parkinsonism is very unlikely. Discuss with the Neurologist for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
