Dudley Moore’s symptoms of progressive supranuclear palsy

Date November 19, 1999
Posted by BSN Support Staff

On November 19, 1999, actor Dudley Moore was interviewed by Barbara Walter on ABC’s 20/20.  The focus of the interview was Dudley Moore’s symptoms of progressive supranuclear palsy.  Someone recently re-posted the 20/20 interview to YouTube:

Did You Know?

A person’s autonomic system controls automatic functions of the body including blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, bladder emptying, sexual functions, etc.  Autonomic dysfunction is an extremely common symptom in multiple system atrophy and less common in Lewy body dementia.  Learn more about MSA.  Learn more about LBD.

A common symptom in LBD, PSP, MSA, and CBD is ataxia or discoordinated movement.

The four main motor symptoms of parkinsonism are bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, rest tremor, postural instability and gait dysfunction. Learn more.

Mayo Clinic hosts the world’s largest brain bank dedicated to neurological diseases in Jacksonville, Florida. They supply brain tissue for research studies around the world.   Learn more.

Lewy Body Dementia commonly co-occurs with Alzheimer’s Disease. However, it is incorrect to describe LBD as a “combination” of Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease.   Learn more.
