Doha: Sidra Medicine has established Qatar’s first paediatric focused Movement Disorders Clinic.
The clinic helps address problems such as spasticity (uncontrollable muscle stiffness) and dystonia (involuntary, abnormal jerking or twisting movements) in children and young people who have not responded to medications and therapy and who may benefit from state-of-the-art surgical interventions available at Sidra Medicine.
The Movement Disorders Clinic is staffed by a team of specialists from rehabilitation medicine, physical and occupational therapy, neurology, and neurosurgery. The most common diagnosis seen at the clinic are children with Cerebral Palsy, a brain disorder that interferes with the way that the brain communicates with the body and causes difficulty with movement.
