Abstract :
Movement disorders in children encompass a broad range of neurological conditions that result in abnormal motor activity. These disorders can be either congenital or acquired. They can be classified into hyperkinetic or hypokinetic categories. The underlying causes of these conditions vary widely, including genetic, metabolic, structural, and inflammatory factors. Proper diagnosis and early intervention are keys to managing these disorders, as they often have significant long-term developmental and social implications. This article reviews the major movement disorders seen in children, focusing on their clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and current treatment strategies, while also discussing emerging therapies and future directions in paediatric neurology.
