  • 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]
