10 Symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Difficulty Moving
All of our movements are affected by our brains, whether consciously or subconsciously. It takes quite a lot of brain power to perform various actions, and if something is not quite right in the brain, this ability can be hindered. This means that patients with Lewy body dementia can experience problems with movement and also take on an unusual gait and posture.
Walking even short distances can become labored, resulting in a shuffling movement. The patient may also experience tremors and their limbs can become stiff. Falls are not uncommon and this could potentially lead to injuries. These symptoms can cause the patient to become increasingly dependent on others.
