parkinson's disease
protein deficiency
spinal chord injury
thyrotoxicosis

Although it supposedly wiped out here, a check for polio might be a good idea.  In some, the immunization doesn't make the immune response that is hoped for and polio becomes a latent infection that emerges later in life.  Then there's polio vaccines contaminated with SV40, a cancer causing monkey virus.
