Coordination

Changes in coordination are less related to muscles and more related to your brain and nervous system, everything in your brain needs to be coordinated together in order to do basic things like holding something steady while you walk, and move things in an accurate motion. As you get older you actually produce less and less dopamine which slows down your movements and reduces your coordination even without having parkinsons. Also as you get older naturally your eyes start to fade and vision is a very important aspect in coordination, hence 'hand eye coordination'.
