My wife has dementia. She may have lewy body dementia. She was right handed, but now picks up everything with her left hand. She has lost her fine motor skills with her right hand. When she stands her left foot faces forward, but her right is angled out. She has tunnel vision and can see only on her left side. She can raise her left foot up over one foot, but can only raise her right two to three inches when standing still. Has anyone found that this could be associated with her dementia. I know that this happens with a stroke, but she still has expression on the left and right side of her face unlike with a stroke..

A stroke doesnt necessarily cause problems with the face - it depends on which part of the brain has been affected and how extensive the damage is. OH had a stroke that affected his right arm and leg, but not his face or his speech.
Has anyone ever seen your wife about these problems?
