10 Apraxia Symptoms
Symptom #4: Clumsiness
Clumsiness refers to the likelihood or greater predisposition of the affected person to experience accidents such as falls. Normal causes of clumsiness can be attributed to absent-mindedness, impulsivity, carelessness, predisposition to risk taking behavior, and more. However, clumsiness can also be seen in patients suffering from certain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, brain tumors, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and more.
In patients with apraxia, the clumsiness can be attributed to poor coordination, issues with gait, and impairment of the voluntary movements of the extremities (limb-kinetic apraxia).
