Wiki Can someone tell me what Cogwheeling is?

Still learning Inpatient Psych coding. Can anyone tell me what "Cogwheeling" is and how it's important? Thanks for your help!

Cogwheeling is "The ‘pullback,' jerky or ratcheting effect in an arm or leg that the doctor perceives when moving a patient's rigid limb, thought to be related to tremor superimposed on limb rigidity."
