Re: hypermotor stage?

Well, first I did an internet search, which proved to be quite difficult as there are A LOT of papers on this subject, but non accessable unless I wanted to pay $.

What I did find in bits and pieces was:
  • Nocturnal hypermotor seizures, suggesting frontal lobe epilepsy
  • hypermotor seizures appeared only in FLE (don't know what FLE is)
  • hypermotor and frenetic but stereotyped, often ........

So to ME it's looking like it's Alzheimers induced seizures (not unheard of).

I suggest you go to whoever mentioned this and ask them for a full description (and let us know, I'm intrigued now)

Sorry I can't be of any help ...

Cheers

Re: hypermotor stage?

I ******d as well ...came up with similiar results as angel bear
but it may be quite simple-

"hyper" means excessive as in "hyperactivity"
"motor" could well refer to the bodies motor skills, ie movement
put the two together and you get excessive body movement.
which you would obviously see in a seizure.
but perhaps it is just refering to excessive body movement such as pacing or similiar seen with dementia sufferers.
I will ask my daughter tonight as she is studying behavioural neuroscience
(clever girl!)
kind regards,
jo

Re: hypermotor stage?

my daughter has confirmed
the literal interpretation of hypermotor is "excessive movement"
which could apply to a variety of presentations including involuntary spasms, tremors, flailing, or seizure like convulsions.
does this apply to your situation?
kind regards,
Jo
