Movement disorders are neurological conditions that affect the ability to control body movement, leading to tremors, rigidity, slow movement, or difficulty with coordination and balance. Common movement disorders include Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, ataxia, Huntington’s disease, and essential tremor. Individuals with movement disorders can benefit from specialized care and rehabilitation programs designed to improve mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. The level of care needed depends on the severity of the condition and individual health needs.
For individuals with complex medical needs, Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals (LTACHs) provide extended inpatient care, offering:
At PAM Health, our individualized, comprehensive approach to movement disorders creates an environment where patients feel valued and confident knowing they are receiving the best clinical and emotional support. You will work with our highly experienced staff in our modern hospitals, where we employ proven treatment methods to help you meet your goals so you can return to a familiar lifestyle.
For those who need more intensive care, inpatient rehab may be the best option. This form of rehabilitation focuses on working with patients over a shorter period to maximize their neurological and physical recovery.
The goal is to help you return home being as independent and productive as possible.
For those who can live at home but still need therapy, Outpatient Rehabilitation offers ongoing physical and occupational therapy to maintain and improve motor function over time. In addition, many hospitals offer specialized programs such as LSVT BIG® and LSVT LOUD® therapy for Parkinson’s disease to enhance movement and speech.
