alien limb syndrome

alien limb syndrome

a neurological disorder characterized by unintended hand, arm, or leg movements, often accompanied by a feeling that one has no control over the limb. The individual may not even recognize the limb as his or her own. The syndrome may be associated with lesions to the supplementary motor area or the motor regions of the corpus callosum.
