Improving coordination involves treating the underlying condition. Your doctor may recommend medication, like an anti-inflammatory medication for arthritis, or exercising more to reduce joint pain and stiffness.

You might think of yourself as clumsy if you often bump into furniture or drop things. Clumsiness is
defined as poor coordination, movement, or action.
In healthy people, it can be a minor issue. But, at the same time it can increase your risk for accidents or
serious injuries, like concussions.

You are walking down a street and you never know when and who will simply trip while walking, or
worse, spill a beverage on your beloved outfit. Can’t imagine the nightmare right? Do not fret! Here are
some simple ways to get rid of clumsiness.
What causes sudden clumsiness?
Stroke
A stroke occurs when a blood clot forms in the brain and decreases blood flow (ischemic stroke) or
when a weakened blood vessel bursts in your brain and decreases blood flow (hemorrhagic stroke). This
deprives your brain of oxygen and brain cells begin to die.
But sudden clumsiness doesn’t always mean a stroke. With a stroke, you’ll likely have other symptoms too.
These include:
• slurred speech
• muscle weakness or numbness
actions and symptoms. A person will typically stare
blankly while in the middle of an activity. Then,
they’ll start doing a random activity like:
• mumbling
• picking at objects
Anxiety and stress
movement, may function abnormally if you’re
suddenly anxious or stressed. This can cause your
hands to shake or impair how you see your
surroundings and do tasks. As a result, you’re more
likely to bump into objects or people.
If you have anxiety, practicing your coping methods
may help you relax and improve issues with
coordination.
If you drink too much alcohol or use drugs, you
may also experience clumsiness due to intoxication.
Intoxication, which impairs brain function, usually
involves one or two symptoms, which may not
always include uncoordinated movements.
• bloodshot eyes
• slurred speech
A malignant or benign growth on the brain can also
affect balance and coordination. If you have a brain
tumor, you may also experience the following
symptoms:
symptoms can be subtle, but may include hand
tremors or hand twitching that can cause issues
with coordination. Other signs and symptoms
include:
Alzheimer’s disease
difficulty with memory, has trouble completing
familiar tasks, and may have issues with
coordination. The risk of Alzheimer’s disease
increases after the age of 65.
If you or a loved one develops these symptoms in
middle age, and if they don’t improve, talk to a
doctor.
Clumsiness in children
Trouble with coordination in children isn’t unusual as toddlers learn how to stand and walk. Growth
spurts can also contribute as your child gets used to their growing body.
Children who have trouble paying attention may also be more uncoordinated if they’re less aware of their
surroundings.
If you feel your child’s clumsiness isn’t improving or is worsening, talk to your doctor. Issues with
coordination in children can also be caused by:
• vision problems
• attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
child’s coordination. Children with DCD usually
have delayed physical coordination for their age.
This isn’t due to learning disabilities or a
neurological disorder.
practicing movements, breaking activities into
smaller steps, or using tools like special grips on
pencils.
Slow things down
Think about the times when you fall or spill.
Were you in a rush? Most likely. Life is not a
race! When you feel like you're doing
something faster than you should be, take a
moment to slow down.
Stay organized
Having stuff all over the place gives you more of an
opportunity to trip over something. Make a
conscious effort to get organized and keep your
home tidy.
Pay attention to your environment
All it takes is an extra glance around you to be
more aware of what's happening. Look up when
you're walking, scoot your beverage away from
your arms, and think about the actions you are
taking.
Bad vision is a huge contributor to clumsiness, but
often times people have no idea that they aren't
seeing as well as they should be. Make an optometry
appointment and be sure your eyes are healthy.
Try exercises that improve your
balance
Don't be hard on yourself
Being a clumsy person is definitely not the end of
the world. Maybe you knock something over or
bump the corner of your bed. Whatever! Don't let
people make you feel bad about it. If you feel
confident and happy, that's what truly matters.
Work On Bodily Coordination

when their internal systems are developing as they
grow. These people’s hand-to-mouth, hand and eyes,
eyes and legs, etc. coordination is weak, which give
them major nightmares! Consult psychiatrists; they
will prescribe certain coordination-building
Practise Monotasking
multitasking right away. Accept it that it simply not
your cup of tea. You definitely do not need to feel
bad about it because monotasking will not only
help you keep away from clumsiness but also help
you get best results out of your tasks. Simplify
your tasks and practise monotasking like a boss!
Have Presence Of Mind
The biggest thing you can do to yourself is reminding
yourself to keep a presence of mind. It will help you
live in present, notice and observe your surrounding
in a much better manner, and will help you know
more about what is happening in and around you. You
will be able to tackle situations in a much better way.
Know when to take a breather
A little bit of stress can be a good thing. It does
help you concentrate, and focus, and increase your
situational awareness. But excessive amounts of
stress can slow down your processing, and even
affect your peripheral vision. You don’t know
where to look, or what to attend to that may be
unsafe. You may over-focus on whatever is
stressing you out and avoid seeing potential
danger.

more coordination problems than folks with more
efficient cognitive functioning.

be extra-aware of your actions: Standing up from
your seat? Check to see if there's anything you
might knock over on your way up. About to climb
stairs in high heels? Slow your pace and watch
your footing. Even if it’s just crossing the street, you
should be actively thinking.
brainer: We know that even losing a few hours of
sleep is almost like drinking alcohol. The effects are
so profound and fast and deleterious that doctors
would really caution people to make sure they’re
getting enough sleep to avoid any sort of accident,

and spilling it, or something much worse.
