What Is Tourette Syndrome?
6. Complex Movement Tics
As the name suggests, complex movement tics are similar to simple vocal tics, only the movements involved are more complex. These will involve using several muscles groups and the movements can seem complex to the point where it appears as though they must be deliberate.
Examples of complex movement tics include repeating movements that have been made by another person. The patient may walk in a particular gait that is unusual and they may twist and bend their body. The patient may also make other unusual movements like hopping and jumping, and the tics can also involve picking up objects and smelling them.
