In the past few years we provided strong observational support for theoretical studies regarding the internal kinematics of Planetary Nebulae (PNe). A total of 257 objects segregated by different galactic populations were analized. Based upon spatially-resolved, long-slit, echelle spectroscopy drawn from the San Pedro Mártir Kinematic Catalogue of PNe †, we characterized the kinematics of PNe shells measuring their global expansion velocities. We present here a brief summary of these observational results, with a focus on our most recent study of about 26 PNe with low metallicity that appear to derive from progenitor stars of the lowest masses (including the halo PNe population). Low expansion velocities were found for these nebulae, less than 20 km s−1, which are most likely associated with a weak central star wind driving the kinematics of the nebular shell in this particular population.
