What Causes Poor Body Coordination?
Poor body coordination can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'minor' to 'generally fatal'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose poor body coordination, we could:
- Research the topic
- Find a doctor with the time
- Use a diagnostic computer system.
The process is the same, whichever method is used.
Step 1: List all Possible Causes
We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "poor body coordination" as a symptom. Here are seven possibilities:
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome
- Epstein-Barr Virus
- Hypoglycemia
- Silicone Disease
- Parkinson's Disease
- Mercury Toxicity
Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist
We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

sugar/sweet craving

indoor allergies

back-of-neck lymph node problems

carbohydrate craving during cycle

frequent unexplained nausea

increased emotional instability

tender muscles

cold sores

regular painful urge to defecate

dark spots on gums

constant fatigue

hand tremors
... and more than 110 others
Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause
A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of poor body coordination:
| Cause |

| Guillain-Barre Syndrome |

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis
The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.
In the
General Symptoms section of the questionnaire,
The Analyst™ will ask the following question about your physical coordination:
Body coordination. How good is your control over your physical movements, for example picking up something very small or catching a ball?
Possible responses:
→ Very poor - I'm very clumsy / drop things
→ Somewhat worse than average
→ Average / don't know
→ Better than average
→ Excellent
|
Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either poor bodily coordination or good bodily coordination,
The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
| The patient may have difficulty holding and manipulating objects, such as buttons and toothbrushes. |
Parkinson's Disease
| Those suffering from Parkinson's disease often have difficulty in performing simple tasks. |
