Understanding Movement Disorders: Types, Symptoms, and Causes

Overview

Specialised Movement Disorders Care for Conditions Affecting Movement and Coordination

At ShardaCare – Healthcity, Greater Noida, our Movement Disorders team provides specialised evaluation and management for neurological conditions that affect body movements, coordination, and muscle control.

As part of our advanced Neurosciences services, our specialists focus on accurate diagnosis, personalised treatment planning, and long-term management of movement-related conditions. Our team works closely with experts from Neurology, Neurosurgery, and rehabilitation services to provide coordinated care based on each patient’s condition.

Our multidisciplinary approach includes support from specialists in Stroke, Stroke Rehabilitation, Paediatric Neurology, Interventional Neuroradiology, and Epilepsy management for comprehensive neurological care.

What are Movement Disorders?

Movement Disorders are neurological conditions that affect the ability to control body movements. These disorders may result in excessive movements, reduced movements, stiffness, tremors, or difficulties with coordination and balance.

Movement disorders occur due to changes in areas of the nervous system that control movement. A detailed neurological evaluation helps specialists identify the underlying condition and recommend appropriate management.

Movement Disorders care may involve:

  • Diagnosis of movement-related symptoms

  • Medical management

  • Rehabilitation support

  • Lifestyle and activity guidance

  • Surgical evaluation in selected cases

Treatment plans are personalised according to the patient’s symptoms, diagnosis, and overall health condition.

Conditions Managed Under Movement Disorders

Our specialists evaluate and manage various movement-related neurological conditions, including:

Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that may affect movement, balance, and coordination. Symptoms and treatment requirements vary between individuals.

Tremor Disorders

Tremors involve involuntary rhythmic movements that may affect different parts of the body. Specialist evaluation helps determine the type and appropriate management approach.

Dystonia

Dystonia is a movement disorder characterised by involuntary muscle contractions that may cause abnormal postures or repetitive movements.

Other Movement-Related Conditions

Movement Disorders specialists also evaluate other neurological conditions affecting movement control, coordination, and muscle function.

Comprehensive Neurosciences Care

Movement-related conditions often require expertise from multiple neurological specialties. At ShardaCare – Healthcity, our Neurosciences team provides coordinated care involving different areas of neurological expertise.

Neurology

Neurology focuses on the diagnosis and medical management of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.

Neurologists evaluate movement-related symptoms and develop treatment plans based on detailed clinical assessment.

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery focuses on surgical management of selected neurological conditions.

For certain movement disorders where advanced treatment options may be considered, neurosurgical evaluation may be recommended after specialist assessment.

Stroke

Stroke can affect movement, coordination, and neurological function depending on the area of the brain involved.

Patients experiencing movement-related challenges after stroke may require neurological evaluation and recovery support.

Stroke Rehabilitation

Stroke Rehabilitation helps patients improve mobility, coordination, balance, and daily functioning after stroke.

Rehabilitation plans are designed according to individual recovery needs.

Paediatric Neurology

Paediatric Neurology provides specialised neurological care for infants, children, and adolescents with movement-related and other neurological conditions.

Children require age-specific evaluation and treatment approaches for neurological concerns.

Interventional Neuroradiology

Interventional Neuroradiology uses minimally invasive, image-guided techniques to diagnose and treat certain neurological conditions involving blood vessels of the brain and spine.

It may support evaluation and management of selected neurological conditions.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological condition associated with recurrent seizures. Some neurological symptoms may require evaluation for associated seizure-related concerns.

Diagnosis and Evaluation of Movement Disorders

Accurate diagnosis is important for effective movement disorder management.

The evaluation process may include:

  • Detailed neurological examination

  • Review of symptoms and medical history

  • Assessment of movement patterns

  • Diagnostic investigations when required

  • Evaluation of impact on daily activities

The recommended approach depends on the patient’s symptoms, condition, and specialist assessment.

Treatment Approach for Movement Disorders

Treatment for Movement Disorders varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms.

Management may include:

Medical Management

Medicines may be recommended to help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning, depending on the specific condition.

Rehabilitation Support

Physical therapy and rehabilitation may help improve mobility, coordination, balance, and functional abilities.

Advanced Treatment Options

Some patients with specific movement disorders may be evaluated for advanced treatment approaches, including surgical options, when clinically appropriate.
