Conditions We Treat
At the Pediatric Movement Disorder Clinic, we treat children who have difficulty controlling their movements.
These conditions include:
- Ataxia or coordination problems
- Bradykinesia or slow movement
- Chorea or irregular movements of the face and limbs that cannot be controlled
- Dystonia or muscle contractions that cannot be controlled
- Myoclonus or quick muscle jerks that cannot be controlled
- Spasticity or stiff muscles
- Tics or unusual movements or sounds over which the patient may have little or no control. In certain instances, tics can also be classified as Tourette Syndrome.
- Tremors or a rhythmic shaking that cannot be controlled
