Dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease, often presents with distinct motor features that progressively impair physical function. Early in the disease, subtle changes such as slowed movements and difficulty with coordination may be observed. As dementia progresses, more pronounced motor symptoms can develop, including bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, and tremors similar to those seen in Parkinson's disease. Gait disturbances are common, leading to shuffling steps, instability, and an increased risk of falls. In advanced stages, muscle weakness and loss of fine motor skills can make everyday activities like dressing and eating challenging. These motor impairments, coupled with cognitive decline, significantly impact the quality of life and independence of individuals with dementia.
