Movement disorders refer to neurological disorders characterized by problems in the speed, control, coordination, or quality of voluntary or involuntary movements.
Based on the disorder, patients can have movements that are either slow, fast, excessive, or uncontrollable.
There are different signs and symptoms between patients, hence the need for a neurological examination.
Symptoms can include:
Movement disorders can have various underlying causes.
Potential Causes
Progressive nervous disorder frequently recognized due to its symptoms of slowness, stiffness, and tremors.
Characterized by repetitive shaking, which may occur in the hands, head, or elsewhere in the body.
Involuntary muscle contractions and abnormal postures or movements may occur in this disease.
Neurological disorders can also result in excessive, decreased or abnormal movements.
Diagnosis is mainly through clinical examination and analysis of the movement pattern of the individual.
May consist of
Knowing when the symptoms began, how they evolved and what triggers them.
This involves examination of tremor, muscle tone, quickness of movement, posture, gait and coordination by the neurologist.
Involves examination of muscle strength, reflexes, sensations, etc.
Some medications can cause tremor or unusual movements and hence drug history might be important.
Brain MRI or any other tests may be suggested depending on clinical need for underlying causes.
Treatment will depend upon the actual diagnosis and the symptoms exhibited.
Possible Treatments
Medications may be used to manage movement symptoms as required.
Individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease may need specific medication as well as neurological assessments.
Treatment is determined based upon the nature and cause of the tremor.
Physiotherapy may assist with issues related to mobility, balance and strength.
Regular exercise, proper sleep and a consistent routine may benefit neurological functioning.
Movement disorders can vary over time and therefore require regular neurological evaluations.
