Movement disorders are a common group of neurological conditions characterised by abnormal or involuntary movements, muscle stiffness, and tremors.

They can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life and daily activities. Movement disorders are caused by various factors, including genetics, brain injury, or damage to specific areas of the brain. These conditions can affect people of all ages, but they are more commonly seen in older adults.
Doctor Ellis specialises in the diagnosis and management of these conditions and is the clinical lead for Movement Disorders at the Walton Centre. 

This page provides patient information on a range of movement disorders, including their symptoms, causes, investigations, and treatments. Some of the movement disorders discussed on this page include Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, chorea, and myoclonus. We also discuss different investigations used to diagnose movement disorders, as well as the treatment options for movement disorders. 

​My goal is to provide patients with information to help them better understand their condition and manage their symptoms.
