Movement Disorders

Overview

The Movement Disorders division/speciality at our hospital is dedicated to the comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide array of movement-related abnormalities. We specialize in managing conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonias, tremors, gait imbalances, and various other involuntary or abnormal limb and body movements. 

Diagnostic services

Stress on clinical diagnosis and availability of advanced diagnostic capabilities set us apart. A good clinical evaluation and examination is the most important part before making and treatment plan. Utilizing the latest in electrophysiology, sophisticated imaging techniques, nuclear imaging studies, and specialized genetic and autoimmune assays, we always attempt to pinpoint the underlying etiology of movement disorders.

Interdisciplinary Approach 

We believe that optimal patient outcomes are best achieved through a collaborative healthcare model. Therefore, we work closely with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists to devise comprehensive treatment plans that not only manage symptoms but also improve the quality of life. 

Treatment Options

Management options range from simple to complex pharmacotherapy targeting specific neurotransmitter systems. When required localized administration of botulinum toxin is available for example for dystonias. For those who require advanced interventions, we offer a range of state-of-the-art therapies designed to control various disorders, from other forms of denervation, including clinical and surgical.  

Innovations in Neurotechnology

Our in-house Neurotech Lab is at the forefront of integrating robotics and other emerging technologies into patient care and research. We are continuously exploring innovative ways to enhance both the quality and efficacy of our therapeutic interventions.

Research 

We are committed to advancing the understanding of movement disorders and are engaged in groundbreaking research. Our ongoing projects include studying seed-based assays in Parkinson’s disease, investigating the cognitive impairments associated with Parkinson’s disease in our specialized Cognition Lab, and much more.
