Characteristics

Chorea is characterized by brief, semi-directed, irregular movements that are

  • Not repetitive
  • Not rhythmic
  • Flow from one muscle to the next.
  • Dance-like movements of chorea often occur with athetosis, which adds twisting and writhing movements.
  • Walking may become difficult, and include odd postures and leg movements.
