Movement disorders can present with very different symptoms such as tremor, slowness, stiffness or involuntary movements. An accurate diagnosis is important for an appropriate follow-up plan.
Movement disorders cover a group of neurological conditions that affect the speed, smoothness or control of body movements. Tremor, slow movement, muscle stiffness and involuntary movements belong to this group.
Newly starting or gradually increasing tremor, slowness that makes daily tasks difficult, and involuntary movements require a neurological evaluation. Early evaluation makes follow-up easier.
A detailed history and a neurological examination are essential in determining the type of movement disorder. When needed, imaging and additional tests are planned.
The approach is determined individually according to the type of movement disorder. Medication support, lifestyle adjustments and regular follow-up are considered. Decisions are made together.
