movement performed in a sequence of component parts rather than as asingle smooth activity=decomp

Back 6

dyssynergia

Front 7

ataxic pattern, broad base of support, postural instability, high guard UE

Back 7

gait disorders

Front 8

decrease in muscle tone

Back 8

hypotonia

Front 9

overestimation of distance or range needed for a movement

Back 9

hypermetria

Front 10

rhythmic, quick oscillatory back and forth eyes

Back 10

nystagmus

Front 11

involuntary oscillatory movement resulting from alternate contractions of opposing muscle groups

Back 11

tremors

Front 12

osciillatory movement during voluntary motion; increases as the limb nears target; diminished or absent at rest

Back 12

intention or kinetic tremor

Front 13

exaggerated oscillatory movement of the body in standing posture or of a limb held against gravity

Back 13

postural or static tremor

Front 14

rhythmic oscillations of the head, axial movement of the trunk

Back 14

titubation

Front 15

inability to initiate movement, assoc with fixed postures

Back 15

akinesia

Front 16

slow, involuntary writing twisting wormlike movements
frequently involve distal UE

chorea

Front 19

movement disorder with features of chorea and athetosis

Back 19

choreoathetosis

Front 20

sustained involuntary contractions of agonist and antagonist muscles

Back 20

dystonia

Front 21

large-amplitude sudden, violent, flailing motions of the arm and leg of one side of the body

Back 21

hemiballismus

Front 22

abnormally increase dmsucle activity or movement

Back 22

hyperkinesis

Front 23

decreased motor response especially to a specific stimulus

Back 23

hypokinesis

Front 25

uniform, constant resistance as limb is moved

Back 25

lead pipe rigidity

Front 26

series of brief relaxations or catches as limb is passively moved

Back 26

cogwheel rigidity

Front 27

involuntary, rhtymic oscillatory movement observed at rest

Back 27

resting tremor
