Lower extremity hypokinesia

MedGen UID:
1779328
•Concept ID:
C5539575
•
Finding
Synonym: Hypokinesia of the lower extremities
 
HPO: HP:0033414

Definition

Abnormally diminished movement of the lower extremities. In contrast to paralysis, hypokinesia is not characterized by a lack of motor strength, but rather by a poverty of movement. The typical habitual movements (e.g., folding the arms, crossing the legs) are reduced in frequency. [from HPO]
