Movement Disorders Clinic
Nafaur’s Neurocare provides specialist consultation for children with movement disorders. These conditions affect how a child moves, walks, sits or controls muscles.
Some children have unusual movements or muscle stiffness. Others may have shaking, sudden jerks or poor balance. These problems can affect daily activities, learning and play.
Common movement problems include:
- Dystonia and muscle twisting
- Tremor or shaking
- Tics and repeated movements
- Chorea and unusual body movements
- Myoclonus or sudden muscle jerks
- Ataxia and poor balance
- Spasticity and muscle stiffness
- Unsteady walking and abnormal posture
Our Movement Disorders Clinic helps parents understand these symptoms. During consultation, the doctor checks muscle tone, posture, balance and movement. The doctor also reviews the child’s medical history. MRI or EEG reports may help when needed.
Treatment depends on the cause. For example, some children need medicine or physiotherapy. Others may benefit from rehabilitation and regular follow-up. In selected cases, the doctor may consider neurosurgical treatment.
In addition, parents can record unusual movements on a phone. These videos may help the doctor understand the problem.
Sudden abnormal movements, new weakness or sudden loss of balance need urgent medical assessment. Therefore, parents should not delay seeking medical advice.
