Movement Disorders

Movement disorders are neurological disorders that disturb the ability to control movements. They are the result of abnormal functioning in a part of the brain called the basal ganglia, which is responsible for controlling movement. People with movement disorders exhibit either the inability to produce and control voluntary movements or the inability to stop unwanted involuntary movements.
