Understanding Movement Disorders:
Movement disorders are neurological conditions that affect the speed, quality, and fluency of body movements. Of these, tremors, dystonia, and chorea are among the most common but least understood disorders.
What Are Tremors?
Tremors are rhythmic, involuntary motions of shaking that happen most often in the hands, head, arms, vocal cords, or legs. Tremors are either at rest or with movement, and may indicate a more generalized neurological disease.
Types of Tremors:
- Essential Tremor: Most common, most frequently hereditary, tends to affect the hands on movement.
- Parkinsonian Tremor: With Parkinson’s Disease, usually at rest.
- Cerebellar Tremor: Is caused by damage to the cerebellum; results in shaky movement in coordinating activities.
- Physiological Tremor: Light, typically short tremors produced by fatigue, anxiety, or medication.
Tremor Symptoms:
- Shaking of hands, head, or other limbs
- Difficulty writing or holding objects
- Tremor of voice
- Worsened symptoms with anxiety or fatigue
At CerebrumCor Clinic, we conduct thorough neurological evaluation and advanced imaging to determine the cause and nature of your tremor, so we can tailor a treatment plan.
What Is Dystonia?
Dystonia is a neurological disorder of movement that includes involuntary muscle contractions causing repetitive movements or abnormal postures. It may be present in one part of the body (focal dystonia), multiple areas (segmental), or the entire body (generalized dystonia).
Types of Dystonia:
- Cervical Dystonia: Disrupts muscles of the neck, rotating or turning the head.
- Blepharospasm: Spontaneous eye closure or blinking.
- Writer’s Cramp: A focal dystonia that disrupts muscles of the hand and forearm.
- Spasmodic Dysphonia: Disrupts speech and vocal cords.
Symptoms of Dystonia:
- Twisting movement or repetitive action
- Muscle cramp or ache
- Abnormal posture
- Difficulty with activities like writing or speaking
Treatment at CerebrumCor Clinic may include medications, injections of botulinum toxin, physical therapy, and in selected cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) to manage symptoms and improve function.
Causes of Chorea:
- Huntington’s Disease: Inherited disease with progressive brain degeneration.
- Sydenham’s Chorea: Related to rheumatic fever in children.
- Drug-induced Chorea: Caused by certain drugs.
- Autoimmune or Metabolic Disorders
Symptoms of Chorea:
- Jerky, involuntary movements
- Difficulty in voluntary movements
- Imbalance or instability
- Facial grimacing or fidgety behavior
At CerebrumCor Clinic, our neurologists utilize neuroimaging, genetic analysis, and careful clinical history to determine the underlying cause of chorea and create effective treatment plans.
