Frequently Asked Questions

Athetosis is a type of involuntary movement disorder characterised by slow, writhing, and twisting movements, primarily affecting the hands, fingers, feet, and sometimes the face.
Athetosis is often caused by damage to the basal ganglia, a group of nuclei in the brain involved in movement control. This damage can result from conditions such as cerebral palsy, brain injuries, or certain genetic disorders.
Common symptoms include uncontrollable and slow movements, difficulty in maintaining a steady posture, and challenges with fine motor skills. Speech and swallowing difficulties may also be present.
While athetosis and dystonia both involve involuntary movements, athetosis is characterised by slow, flowing movements, whereas dystonia involves sustained muscle contractions leading to abnormal postures.
Physical and occupational therapy medications can help manage symptoms, but in some cases, surgical interventions like deep brain stimulation may be required.
Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation by a neurologist, including a medical history review, physical examination, and possibly imaging tests like MRI or CT scans.
Athetosis can affect individuals of all ages, but it is often diagnosed in early childhood due to its association with conditions like cerebral palsy.
Athetosis symptoms can vary, and some individuals may experience improvement with age or through targeted therapies and interventions.
Parents can help by providing physical and occupational therapy, creating a supportive environment, and advocating for educational and social inclusion.
Yes, athetosis can lead to difficulties in controlling the muscles required for speech and communication, resulting in challenges in expressing oneself verbally.
Yes, assistive devices like adaptive keyboards, computer software, and specialised utensils can aid in improving fine motor skills and daily activities.
Medications such as muscle relaxants and dopamine-modulating drugs may be prescribed to improve muscle control.
Yes, athetosis can affect independence, but with proper therapy and support, individuals can develop strategies to enhance their autonomy and daily functioning.
Regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress reduction, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can contribute to managing athetosis symptoms.
While athetosis often affects the limbs, it can also involve other areas, such as the face, neck, and trunk.
Athetosis can pose challenges in fine motor skills necessary for writing and other classroom activities. However, with support and accommodations, individuals can still excel in education.
Yes, stress and emotional factors can exacerbate athetosis symptoms, so stress management techniques can be beneficial.
