Akinesia:

Question 16

What basal motor impairment is described as having

-slow involuntary, writhing, twisting movements, usually > in distal UE’s, wrists and fingers may hyperextend and then flex, combined with rotary movements of extremities. Can effect other areas of body. AKA athetoid movements: usually see in combo with spasticity, tonic spasms or chorea.
