What Are Movement Disorders?
Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that affect a person’s ability to move voluntarily, leading to abnormal movements or a lack of control. These conditions can be disruptive to daily life but are often manageable with the right care and support.
Key types of movement disorders include:
- Parkinson’s Disease: A progressive disorder affecting movement, balance, and coordination.
- Essential Tremor: Uncontrolled shaking, often in the hands or head, especially during voluntary actions.
- Dystonia: Involuntary muscle contractions causing repetitive movements or abnormal postures.
- Ataxia: A lack of coordination due to neurological dysfunction, affecting balance and speech.
- Huntington’s Disease: A genetic condition causing involuntary movements, emotional disturbances, and cognitive decline.
Symptoms to Watch For
Each movement disorder presents unique challenges, but common symptoms may include:
- Tremors or shaking that interfere with daily tasks.
- Muscle stiffness or rigidity, making movement painful or difficult.
- Involuntary jerking or twitching.
- Slow or uncoordinated movements.
- Difficulty maintaining balance or walking steadily.
Causes and Risk Factors
Movement disorders can arise from various causes, including:
- Neurological Changes: Dysfunction in areas of the brain responsible for motor control.
- Genetics: Some conditions, like Huntington’s disease, are inherited.
- Medications: Certain drugs can trigger movement-related side effects.
- Infections or Injuries: Neurological damage from infections, strokes, or trauma.
- Chronic Conditions: Diseases like Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis.
