Clumsiness.Why are we uncoordinated?

Jaimie Lawrence

MISSION STATEMENT

Understand what causes clumsiness and how co-ordination effects how

clumsy you are.

Co-ordination

Without it, you’ll die! Eyes scope it out Brain & nerves send a message Muscles do the work!

That makes me clumsy? Clumsiness happens when

one or more of the bodies ‘co-ordinates’ can’t work together.

The un-coordination of your muscles may cause them to react a moment too late when you drop a glass.

Your eyes may misjudge distance or depth causing you to step somewhere you didn’t intend to.

What could cause it?

Poor vision Fatigue and stress Head injury or stroke Arthritis Medications Alcohol or drug use Illness Medication

Is there concern?

Everyone is a klutz sometimes… Mostly fatigue or stress Could be a symptom of a stroke If you are worried, call your doctor.

Conclusion

Everyone has klutz days! Maybe you just need a nap, or a stress reliever. If you have

any serious concern about excess clumsiness ask your doctor!
