Abstract
Movement is a critical component of human functionality, influencing daily activities and overall quality of life. For this reason, precise and complete execution of the movements is extremely important. However, traumatic and non-traumatic pathologies can impair neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems, leading to motor dysfunction. Accurate etiological diagnosis and evidence-based therapeutic strategies are crucial in managing movement disorders, whether through restorative treatment or symptomatic relief. This study investigates the multifactorial pathogenesis of movement disorders and provides a comprehensive review of current therapeutic approaches, including rehabilitation strategies, pharmacological management, surgical interventions, and emerging treatment modalities. The selection of accurate, patient-specific therapeutic interventions enables clinicians to optimize motor function and minimize disability in patients with movement disorders.
期刊介绍:
Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics.
