definition |
Definition: It has been proposed that three core features characterize restlessness: Diffuse motor activity or motion subject to limited control (e.g., pacing, fidgeting, repetitive motor movements) that is judged by a clinician, caregiver, or observer to be excessive and/or inappropriate to the circumstances. The behavior(s) is(are) generally non-productive or disorganized, failing to appropriately address or target potential underlying causes such as stress or boredom. The behavior(s) is(are) associated with a degree of subjective distress (e.g., nervousness, discomfort) that is either communicated by the person with dementia or extrapolated from the behavior itself. |
