Movement Disorder

Movement disorders are extra or awkward movements — tics, tremor, dystonia or chorea — that the child cannot fully control.

Pediatric Neurology

Movement Disorder

Movement disorders are extra or awkward movements — tics, tremor, dystonia or chorea — that the child cannot fully control.

Many tics are brief and fade. We look for sudden onset after illness, medicines, or movements that stop the child from writing or walking.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Tics

Common

Blinks, sniffs or shoulder jerks that come and go, often worse with stress.

Other types

Range

Tremor, twisting postures, or dance-like chorea each have a different path.

Sudden start

Clue

Abrupt severe movements after a sore throat need a careful look.

School

Life

Calling tics ‘naughty’ makes them worse. Teachers need a simple note.

Evaluation

What we look for

Watch

Exam

We watch the child draw, walk and sit — not only lie on a couch.

Medicines

Review

Some nausea or seizure medicines can cause extra movements.

Treat?

Decide

Mild tics often need explanation, not a tablet. Interfering ones need a plan.

Family

Calm

Sleep, less screen-shame, and not filming every tic helps more than people expect.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Book if movements are new and violent, one-sided weakness appears, or the child cannot walk or write.
