  4. Movement Disorder: Types and Treatment The term "movement disorder" (MD) is used to refer to a broad spectrum of conditions that have an impact on motor movement. There are two types of movement disorders, Primary and secondary. When a condition initially manifests and its underlying cause is unknown, it is said to be primary MD. When an underlying illness or another medical issue is the cause of the disorder, it is known as secondary MD. It's crucial to see a neurologist about the potential causes and effective treatments for specific symptoms, as they can present in a variety of ways and deteriorate the quality of life.

  5. Some Common Movement Disorders are: Ataxia: Ataxia affects the part of the brain that controls coordinated movement. Uncoordinated or clumsy balance, speech, or limb movements are indications of ataxia. Numerous things, including inherited and degenerative disorders, might cause it. In some cases, an infection can also cause ataxia. Dystonia: Long-lasting involuntary muscle spasms and twisted, repetitive movements are symptoms of this illness. Dystonia can affect either one body part or the entire body. Cervical dystonia is characterized by uncontrollable neck muscular spasms that cause the head to shake, tilt forward or backward, or pull to one side. Chorea: Chorea is a term used to describe brief, irregular, repetitive, and relatively rapid involuntary movements. The motions typically include the face, lips, trunk, and limbs. Chronic fidgeting could mimic chorea. Functional movement disorder: Any aberrant movement pattern may be a symptom of functional movement disorder. They are treatable and unrelated to any neurological disease.

  6. Huntington's Disease: Genetic studies can establish the hereditary nature and progression of Huntington's disease. The three facets of Huntington's disease are as follows: ● Erratic mobility ● Cognitive issues ● Psychological symptoms. Atrophy of several systems: Multiple systems in the brain begin to atrophy as this uncommon neurological illness progresses over time. Multiple system atrophy is the cause of an ataxic or parkinsonian movement disorder. Additionally, it could lead to acting out dreams, low blood pressure, and a dysfunctional bladder. Myoclonus: This condition produces sudden, intense muscular twitching. Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: A rare neurological disorder that impairs eye movement, balance, and walking. Even though it occasionally resembles Parkinson's disease, it is a different sickness.

  7. Restless Leg Syndrome: This movement disorder causes bothersome leg feelings that are commonly relieved by movement while resting or lying down. Treatment At every level of recovery, physical activity is essential for independence, mobility, strength, balance, and movement. Some therapies that help in treatment are: Language therapy evaluates and enhances a person's voice, reading, writing, speaking, and understanding skills in addition to their memory. Workplace therapy: Aids in regaining independence via daily activities (ADLs). Programs for leisure and recreation: enhances the quality of life, develops abilities, and revives the spirit

  8. In patients with movement disorders, the loss of some brain nerves can result in shaking and issues with movement. Some people may later develop a handicap, which might cause them social shame or make it difficult for them to write, eat, or drink. If you are looking for movement disorder specialistsconsultNHS Neuro Care. if the patient's movement condition is interfering with their everyday activities or causing them issues a thorough physical examination will be performed. The Best neurologist will analyze clinical symptoms and medical history and the patient will go through the diagnostic to determine the needs and whether more testing is necessary. It’s important to seek treatment to prevent movement disorder from taking control of a patient’s life.
