10 Tourette's Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #6: Stepping in Patterns
We don’t usually give much thought to where our feet are when we are walking or standing. The actions are largely unintentional and are there to provide a practical purpose more than anything else. In cases of Tourette’s, the patient’s actions can be far more deliberate and even form patterns.
Patients with Tourette’s will sometimes find it all but impossible to not step in specific patterns. They might develop rituals when it comes to how they are stepping and feel as though those rituals have to be followed. This symptom is also considered a complex motor tic.
