Motor symptoms

People with FTD often describe a general weakening of their muscles or slowing of their movements. They might feel uncoordinated or like they are walking through water - harder to move and slower going. They may also experience muscle spasms. In a neurological exam, the doctor may also finds some slowing of particular eye movements, changes in the typical reflexes and muscle stiffness or slowness.
