Rehabilitation in various walking and movement disorders

Walking and movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that affect the ability to walk, maintain balance, and perform coordinated movements. These disorders may result from conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spasticity, dystonia, progressive supranuclear palsy, and other neurological or musculoskeletal disorders.
