Hi,
Could somebody please go into detail more about the clumsiness symptom of ALS?
is it like you dont notice something that you should and end up tripping over, hitting it etc.
Or...is it like you notice a hazard, and think youve moved out of its way (for example, lifting your foot up over something) but you actually havenet and you end up tripping over it.
Or...is it more like totally random? like falling over when there is nothing to fall over, dropping something when theres no reason to drop it etc.?

Hi! I think is like all of the things you descibed. Stubbing your toe alot, falling down, triping. Droping things. Not having good tactile ability in your hands. Some people will have what is call foot or wrist drop where your ankle or wrist just kind of flop down and are hard to lift up straight.
Best of luck. Hope you find the answers you are searching for.
