 Dr. Prashantelke, I am a Parkinson's disease and movement disorder specialist working at Manipal Hospital's Bangalore. Do you know what is Parkinson's disease? Do you know what is a movement disorder? Or do you know who are the movement disorder specialists? To know or create awareness about these disorders, we are creating a World Movement Disorders Awareness Day. The International Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Society is celebrating November 29th as World Park and World Movement Disorders Awareness Day. Let's know about it more, to create more awareness. Movement disorders are a group of brain diseases or abnormalities of brain where people start having difficulty in performing their day-to-day activities because of unable to control those moments in a right way. Anything which causes an abnormally excessive or abnormal reduction in these moments, we call it as movement disorders. Remember movement disorders occurring due to other issues like fracture of a leg or fracture of a hand is not a movement disorder but something which is connected into the brain and the cerebellum what we call it as. Diseases which affect these disorders, we call it as movement disorders. For example, people who have less moments we call them as having Parkinsonism or Parkinson's disease or people who have more moments we call them as having tremors or adaxias. So there are different types of movement disorders are there and to name a few are Parkinson's disease. Second is dystonia. Dystonia is something abnormal movement means turning of the head to one side or people having excessive eye blinking or some people have what you call it as hemifacial. One part of the face keeps on twitching like this. This is what we call it as hemifacial spasm. So there are different types of movement disorders are there. In a broader perspective we can classify them as Parkinsonism disorders, tremor disorders, dystonic disorders, adaxia. Dysaudaxia means like a drunker type of a walking type of a disorder, coring disorders where people have abnormal movements of the body while walking around. So there are different types of diseases are there which needs to be known by everyone so that we can increase the awareness about movement disorders on this movement disorder state. Do you know who is a movement disorder specialist? Do you know how common the movement disorders are in India? Movement disorder specialist is a neurologist who is further subspecialized in management of a certain type of diseases which are involved in the body movement and these are called as movement disorder specialist. So they are specifically neurologists specialized in a certain type of movement disorders. As you can see about 15-20 years back in whole of India we had very few movement disorder specialists. We could have counted them on fingers two, three people or four people across India where for the last 15 years, 20 years the the fields of movement disorders have tremendously increased mainly because that lot of therapy options are available and this has led to development of more and more movement disorders across India. Currently since last 2014 onwards we have movement disorder society of India which is an exclusive society of movement disorder specialists and almost we can that at every major cities across India have a movement disorder specialist. Why it is important to know about this thing is that of late the number of patients with movement disorders being seen at seen at the specialized clinics or by a movement disorder specialist are slowly increasing and we are expecting for next decade to 15 years. These numbers are tremendously going to increase. Why? One because that the aging populations are increasing and most of the movement disorders are aging related disorders. Second the COVID outbreak what it had the COVID outbreak had used up lot of people's acute immune response means increasing the immune and the stress phenomena would have led to a burnout phenomena. This burnout phenomena may lead to various aging related disorders to be seen earlier in many people for example people who have developed some issues in late 70s and 80s probably they may develop in 66 years so this thing can serve but in a general aspect what we can see is that the amount of movement disorders across India tremendously increase. It's very important to recognize these disorders because some of them have very good treatments with proper and early interventions. There are various research options are also going on across India to look for therapies and answer the question why we are developing those things. We hope that on this movement disorder stay many people will come to know about these disorders and recognition developed across the general populations and in the medical fraternity from various specialities.
