Question:

Athetosis is similar to Chorea, however, it is a little different. Describe the movements a person with Athetosis might have. If you can only "act out" the movements in your head, that is also fine. I understand many students are ESL.

Author: Alexandra Jessie Wilson



Answer:

Athetosis is a movement dysfunction. It's characterized by involuntary WRITHING (often called "snake like") movements. With athetosis, the same regions of the body are repeatedly affected. These typically include the hands, arms, and feet. See video for "snakelike" movements in Athetosis.
