10 Tourette's Symptoms

Symptom #4: Hopping
Hopping is often something done by children as a part of certain games. It serves no real purpose, other than maybe allowing us to move if we have a foot/leg unavailable for some reason. It can also be a symptom of Tourette’s, though, as patients can have a compulsion to jump on one foot.
Moreover, hopping is also considered a complex motor tic. Importantly, this, and other similar movements, might even become a risk to the patient’s safety in certain scenarios.
