  • Falling

    Injuries from falls. People with Alzheimer's may become disoriented, increasing their risk of falls. Falls can lead to fractures. In addition, falls are a common cause of serious head injuries, such as bleeding in the brain. [alzheimersreadingroom.com]

    Severity of symptoms: People with significant motor impairment, such as a history of falls and a tendency to wander or walk away, had shorter life expectancies. [healthline.com]

    Because of these visual problems combined with the cognitive and memory deficits, individuals with Down syndrome: can get lost in familiar environments, may not be able to perform certain activities, may have accidents and falls, and may have difficulty [emedicinehealth.com]

  • Muscle Twitch

    A form of muscle twitching and spasm, called myoclonus, is also more common in early-onset Alzheimer's. Late-onset Alzheimer's. This is the most common form of the disease, which happens to people age 65 and older. It may or may not run in families. [webmd.com]

    People with early Alzheimer's are more likely to develop muscle twitching and spasms. They may be more active and physically fit than people with late-onset Alzheimer's disease, but decline at a faster rate, according to the Mayo Clinic. [usatoday.com]

    Despite almost all of these symptoms having been reported in sporadic AD patients, extrapyramidal signs, behavioral and psychiatric symptoms (agitation, depression, delusion, and hallucinations), aphasia, and cerebellar signs are significantly more frequent [hindawi.com]
