There are types of abnormal motor behaviors as I mention here:
Akathisia
- Displaying motor restlessness and muscular quivering
- Patient is unable to sit or lie quietly
Echolalia
Repeating the speech of another person
Echopraxia
Repeating movement of another person
Parkinson-like Symptoms
Making masklike faces, drolling, and having shuffling gait, tremors, and muscular rigidity
Waxy Flexibility
Having one’s arm or legs place in a certain position and holding that same position for hours
Dyskinesia
Impairment of the power of voluntary movement

I think it's important to distinguish that some of these are the (side) effects of the disease and some are side effects of the treatment. Akathisia and pseudoparkinsonism are more likely to be med side effects, for example.
