Movement disorders refer to a group of neurological conditions that cause abnormal movements, such as tremors, stiffness, involuntary muscle contractions, or difficulty initiating movement. Common movement disorders include Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremor, Huntington’s disease, and ataxia. These disorders can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life, but with timely diagnosis and intervention, their effects can be managed effectively.
Comprehensive Care for Movement Disorders
The Movement Disorders Clinic at Emirates Hospitals offers specialized care for individuals dealing with various movement-related conditions. Our multidisciplinary team includes neurologists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists who work together to provide a tailored treatment approach.
Diagnosis involves a detailed medical history, neurological examination, and advanced diagnostic tools such as MRI, CT scans, and genetic testing when needed. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, we create personalized treatment plans that address the specific needs of each patient.
Treatment options may include medications to manage symptoms, botulinum toxin injections for conditions like dystonia, and physical and occupational therapies to improve mobility and function. For advanced cases, we offer innovative treatments like deep brain stimulation (DBS) and infusion therapies.
Our clinic also emphasizes patient education and caregiver support to ensure holistic care. By addressing physical, emotional, and practical needs, we aim to improve the quality of life for both patients and their families.
