Symptoms are similar to those found in parkinson’s disease, such as poor coordination, akinesia, rigidity, disequilibrium, and limb dystonia. Other symptoms such as cognitive and visual-spatial impairments, apraxia, hesitant and halting speech, myoclonus (muscular jerks), and dysphagia may also occur. An individual with CBGD eventually becomes unable to walk. Also known as corticobasal degeneration.
