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
