movement disorders

Functional neurological disorder (FND) presents with genuine, disabling symptoms such as weakness, tremor, and non-epileptic seizures, yet lacks structural brain damage. Emerging research reveals FND arises from disrupted brain network activity, shifting treatment towards multidisciplinary, neuroplasticity-focused rehabilitation. Physiotherapy plays a key role by retraining movement patterns, promoting self-efficacy, and addressing secondary complications through tailored interventions. Effective communication, patient education, and attention to psychological factors are crucial for recovery. Advances in technology and integrated care models are reshaping the future of FND management, offering new hope for lasting functional improvements.
