Involuntary movements in adults with intellectual disability are not sufficiently
researched manifestation. There are numerous causes of the emergence of involuntary
movement in this population. This paper deals with some of them, such as the life in
an institution and the consumption of certain medications. Aim of the research is to
determine percentile representation of involuntary movement manifestation by detecting
body parts that are usually covered by these movements, as well the relation between
consumption of neuroleptics and institutionalization with the expression of involuntary
movements in persons with intellectual disability. Research sample consisted of 66 adults
with intellectual disability of both genders, ages 21 to 55 years. For identifying and
examining involuntary movements Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) is used
(Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale; Guy, 1976). Research results have confirmed
the existence of involuntary movements with 59,1% o...f respondents.This percentage of
the involuntary movements is detected in the facial area. Χ² test shows that between
the groups of patients in which involuntary movements were registered there were no
statistically significant differences relating the circumstances of the institutionalized
or home conditions. The connection between consumption of neuroleptics and the
occurrence of involuntary movements in persons with intellectual disability in this
research is confirmed.
