A review of treatment methods for movement disorders
Movement is a critical component of human functionality, influencing daily activities and overall quality of life. For this reason, precise and complete execution of the movements is extremely important. However, traumatic and non-traumatic pathologies can impair neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems, leading to motor dysfunction. Accurate etiological diagnosis and evidence-based therapeutic strategies are crucial in managing movement disorders, whether through restorative treatment or symptomatic relief. This study investigates the multifactorial pathogenesis of movement disorders and provides a comprehensive review of current therapeutic approaches, including rehabilitation strategies, pharmacological management, surgical interventions, and emerging treatment modalities. The selection of accurate, patient-specific therapeutic interventions enables clinicians to optimize motor function and minimize disability in patients with movement disorders.
