Stereotyped movement disorders - what does this mean
Stereotyped movement disorders involve repetitive, purposeless, and involuntary movements such as rocking, pacing, or head banging. these movements are often associated with a lack of awareness or control, and can occur in response to environmental triggers, such as stress, fatigue, or boredom.
What happens during the disease - stereotyped movement disorders
Stereotyped movement disorders are neurological conditions characterized by repetitive and rigid movements. these abnormal movements are caused by a disruption in the brain's ability to process and interpret sensory information, resulting in a lack of normal motor control. in some cases, they may also be caused by a disruption of the neurotransmitter systems in the brain, leading to an imbalance in the production and release of chemicals that control movement.
