Alien Hand Syndrome

Alien Hand Syndrome

Alien hand syndrome is an unusual neurological disorder where one of the patient's hands takes on a life of its own. A person suffering from alien hand syndrome will feel a normal sensation in their hand, but at certain times will think that their hand is acting in a manner that is totally different from their normal behavior.The hand will often times make sudden movements and

become completely uncontrollable.The alien hand will do whatever it wants, which often times includes performing complex acts such as undoing buttons,removing clothing, and manipulating tools. Sometimes the sufferer will not be aware of what the alien hand is doing until it is systematically brought to their attention.
