Movement Disorders Clinic

In our Movement Disorders Clinic at UAMS, we see patients who experience tremors, involuntary movements and gait difficulty.

To combat movement disorders, our caring and compassionate staff members provide a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach. Our neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists and other specialists combine their expertise to help treat your condition effectively. Close collaboration between the different departments ensures better care for you.

Because UAMS is a teaching hospital, we offer state-of-the-art equipment and provide treatments incorporating the latest advances and research in genetics, prescription drugs and surgical techniques used to treat movement disorders. Our research efforts include randomized clinical trials for different disorders. These new techniques and studies help expand the frontiers of diagnosis and treatment available to you.
