How To Manage Akinesia
An abnormal movement called akinesia occurs when individuals cannot move the way they want to. Patients may notice it in any combination affecting their balance, posture, or walking. It may be patients are actually moving, but their movement is so slow they just can't see it. But, it may also be their nerves fail to transmit timely movement intentions to their muscles. That is, innervation is slowed or interrupted within the nervous system connecting muscle to brain. In the case of constant tremor as in Parkinson's disease, the muscle command to move may have to originate between tremors causing muscle commands. Akinesia is not a thinking problem. It is a motor control management problem traced to the motor cortex. Get to know how to manage akinesia now.
