Periodic Limb Movement Disorder. Periodic limb movement disorder involves a rhythmic jerking of the legs and sometimes arms, which may result in poor quality sleep and daytime fatigue. Unlike restless leg syndrome, these movements are involuntary and usually take place when a person is asleep.
For example, in conversion disorder, your leg may become paralyzed after you fall from a horse, even though you weren't physically injured. Conversion disorder signs and symptoms appear with no underlying physical cause, and you can't control them. Signs and symptoms of conversion disorder typically affect your movement or your senses, such as the ability to walk, swallow, see or hear. Conversion disorder symptoms can vary in severity and may come and go or be persistent. The outcome may be better in younger children than in teenagers and adults.
