For example, rigidity and difficulty walking may partially respond to treatments for Parkinson’s disease. Dystonia and myoclonus may respond to muscle relaxants or anti-seizure medications. [rarediseasesnetwork.org]

In addition, a neurological examination now revealed a hypokinetic-rigid syndrome on the left side of his body, hypomimia with reduced blink frequency, and hypophonia as well as a mild flexed dystonic posture of the left arm. [movementdisorders.org]

Silences at the start and end of each sample and bursts of intensity due to nonspeech behaviour (e.g. laughing, coughing) were removed prior to measurement. Lexical Stress. The polysyllable word samples were used to examine lexical stress. [journals.plos.org]

Many patients with the nonfluent variant go on to develop parkinsonian symptoms that overlap with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS), such as an inability to move the eyes side-to-side, muscle rigidity in the arms and [memory.ucsf.edu]

rigidity in the arms and legs, and weakness in the muscles around the throat. [dementiatoday.com]

rigidity in the arms and legs, falls, and weakness in the muscles around the throat. [rarediseasesnetwork.org]

Communication efficacy is enhanced when conversing in a familiar environment at a slow speech rate, supplemented by gestures. [ftd.med.upenn.edu]

Both pausing and lexical stress changes can indicate difficulty with planning spatial, temporal and amplitude parameters of multi-articulator movements for speech and result in slowed speech rate. [journals.plos.org]

speech, incomprehension and lack of understanding. [alzheimers.net]

This leads to slow speech with frequent pauses as people search for the word they want to use. [dementiablog.org]

The overall result is slow speech and decreased fluency with frequent pauses to search for words. [elsevier.es]

With time, the discourse of individuals with AD becomes impoverished and fragmented, characterized by a lack of coherence, tangentiality, and perseverations. C. [quizlet.com]

[…] empathy; narrowed preoccupations; parsimony Behavioral changes with early preservation of social skills; late behavioral changes similar to behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia Speech and language changes with altered speech output; echolalia†; perseveration [aafp.org]

There was also a reduction in perseveration (the repetition of a particular response, such as a word, phrase, or gesture, despite the absence or cessation of a stimulus), echolalia (the automatic repetition of vocalizations), and verbal stereotypies [life-enhancement.com]

Behaviorally, patients often exhibit apathy including decreased motivation and withdrawal, impulsivity and perseveration, an inability to switch tasks or change topic. Depression is also common. [rarediseasesnetwork.org]

These are characterized by involuntary movements such as tremor (a rhythmic involuntary movement of a limb or the head), myoclonus (a sharp, non-rhythmic, jumping movement of a limb or the body), or dystonia (a cramping, involuntary clenching or extending [ftd.med.upenn.edu]

The main clinical symptoms of CBD are asymmetrical rigidity, apraxia, cortical dysfunction (alien limb phenomenon, cortical sensory loss, myoclonus), and basal nucleus dysfunction (limb dystonia, bradykinesia, tremor). [synapse.koreamed.org]

Dystonia and myoclonus may respond to muscle relaxants or anti-seizure medications. Memory and behavior problems may or may not respond to treatments, such as donepezil, for Alzheimer's disease. [rarediseasesnetwork.org]

[…] in a single disease spectrum of taupathy. 6 CBD is characterized by the following clinical symptoms: asymmetrical parkinsonism, alien limb, cortical sensory loss, apraxia, and myoclonus. 7, 8 Parkinsonian signs such as asymmetrical rigidity (57%) and clumsiness [synapse.koreamed.org]

This latter deficit is called apraxia and may be confused for clumsiness or weakness. There may be difficulties in completing specific tasks, such as opening a door or brushing one’s teeth or using tools, like a can opener. [rarediseasesnetwork.org]

The main clinical symptoms of CBD are asymmetrical rigidity, apraxia, cortical dysfunction (alien limb phenomenon, cortical sensory loss, myoclonus), and basal nucleus dysfunction (limb dystonia, bradykinesia, tremor). [synapse.koreamed.org]

[…] of inhibition, abnormal motor behaviour, and eating disorders. 38 Extrapyramidal signs in the initial neurological examination are more common in the agrammatic and logopenic variants; they rarely appear in the semantic variant. 31,39 Specifically, bradykinesia [elsevier.es]
