MILWAUKEE (PRWEB)

Movement disorders are some of the most complex diseases to treat, diagnose and understand. In order to increase global awareness of this sub-specialty among healthcare professionals and the general population, the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) is launching the first World Movement Disorders Day on November 29, 2022.

Building on an educational social media campaign throughout the month, MDS will present two live virtual events with leading movement disorders experts November 29, one event in each hemisphere. Global leaders in the field will discuss what movement disorders are, misconceptions about them, and why they are so complex to treat, diagnose and understand.

“Movement Disorders include a variety of complex medical conditions that affect a large and growing number of people,” said Francisco Cardoso, MDS President. “By increasing awareness of these difficult-to-diagnose diseases, it will be possible for more people to connect with professionals who have the specialized knowledge to provide proper diagnosis and management. We hope that many partners will join us in observing this new annual event.”
