What Could Cause A Sudden Loss Of Motor Function In Legs & Arms?
67 year old female has had a sudden (within last 6-9months) loss of motor function in legs and arms. Is in a permanent stoop, where she can't stand up straight. Hands jerk all of the time like someone that is nervous. At times can't remember how to sit or stand. In order to stand has to rock multiple times to get out of a seated position. When walking takes steps gate is about 3-6 inches.

In my opinion She has parkinsonism ,she should see a neurologist
Also physical therapy can fix her in no time
You Physical therapist should focus on spinning and twisting exercise (u need a professional ), which will act as brain memory of movements recaller
Good Luck
