title: [Motoricity in the aging human (author's transl)].
abstract: Every period of human life is accompanied by its own motoricity. Apart from spastic, extrapyramidal and cerebellar disturbances resulting from various types of diseases of middle and old age, the individual associated movements in miming and gesture become unharmonious and stiffer with increasing age and the hyperkinesia which was hidden by combined motoricity becomes more marked. Occasionally even a pronounced decline of motor efficiency occurs with apraxia, abasia and astasia. Then the psychic performance is usually similarly altered at the same time.
