Ataxia is a neurological condition that affects coordination, balance, and speech. It is caused by damage to the cerebellum—the part of the brain responsible for fine-tuning movement. People with ataxia may appear clumsy or unsteady and may have trouble walking, using their hands, speaking clearly, or swallowing.
Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the body’s autonomic nervous system (which controls automatic functions like blood pressure and bladder control), along with movement, coordination, and balance.
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that causes involuntary muscle contractions, which can lead to twisting, repetitive movements, abnormal postures, or tremors. These movements may be painful, may worsen with stress or activity, and can affect one part of the body (focal), several parts (segmental), or the entire body (generalized).
Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) is a neurological condition that causes involuntary, repetitive movements, typically in the face, mouth, tongue, or limbs. It is often a side effect of long-term use of certain medications, particularly those used to treat psychiatric or gastrointestinal conditions.
