Sensory cravings, [13] including, for example, fidgeting, impulsiveness, and/or seeking or making loud, disturbing noises; and sensorimotor-based problems, including slow and uncoordinated movements or poor handwriting. Sensory discrimination problems, which might manifest themselves in behaviors such as things constantly dropped. [citation needed]
Vestibular hyposensitivity symptoms include: Hyperactivity. Rocking back and forth or walking in circles while body rocking. Can spin or swing for a long time without feeling dizzy or nauseated. Trouble with balance. Proprioceptive hyposensitivity symptoms include: Unaware of body sensations. For example, not noticing hunger. Limited spatial ...
Problems with spatial awareness, [13] [14] or proprioception. Trouble picking up and holding onto simple objects such as pencils, owing to poor muscle tone or proprioception. Clumsiness to the point of knocking things over, causing minor injuries to oneself and bumping into people accidentally. Difficulty in determining left from right.
Proprioception, a sense vital for rapid and proper body coordination, [46] can be permanently lost or impaired as a result of genetic conditions, disease, viral infections, and injuries. For instance, patients with joint hypermobility or Ehlers–Danlos syndromes , genetic conditions that result in weak connective tissue throughout the body ...
Problems with balance can occur when there is a disruption in any of the vestibular, visual, or proprioceptive systems. Abnormalities in balance function may indicate a wide range of pathologies from causes like inner ear disorders, low blood pressure, brain tumors, and brain injury including stroke.
Athetosis is a commonly occurring symptom in the disease cerebral palsy. [14] Of all people with the disease, between 16% [15] and 25% [4] of them actually exhibit the symptom of athetosis. A component of this is the finding that most often the symptoms that involve athetosis occur as a part of choreoathetosis as opposed to athetosis alone. [16]
Sensory ataxia is both a symptom and a sign in neurology. It is a form of ataxia (loss of coordination) caused not by cerebellar dysfunction but by loss of sensory input into the control of movement.
Dissociated sensory loss is a pattern of neurological damage caused by a lesion to a single tract in the spinal cord which involves preservation of fine touch and proprioception with selective loss of pain and temperature. Understanding the mechanisms behind these selective lesions requires a brief discussion of the anatomy involved.
