Movement disorders are conditions that affect the normal control of movement in the body, leading to involuntary movements, tremors, or difficulties with coordination and balance. Common movement disorders include Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and Huntington's disease. These disorders can have a significant impact on a person's mobility, dexterity, and overall quality of life.

Symptoms of movement disorders can vary depending on the specific condition but may include tremors, muscle stiffness, slowness of movement, and difficulty with fine motor skills. Diagnosis of movement disorders typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by neurologists or movement disorder specialists, including physical examinations and imaging tests.

Treatment for movement disorders often includes medication, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and in some cases, surgical interventions such as deep brain stimulation. It's important for individuals with movement disorders to work closely with a movement disorder specialist to develop a personalized treatment plan in liaison with your GP, that addresses their specific symptoms and helps improve their mobility and overall function. Early intervention and ongoing care are important in managing movement disorders and optimizing quality of life.
