Movement disorders

Movement disorders are a complex and rapidly expanding area of neurology. This field includes f.e. Parkinson’s Disease, Dystonia, Tremor, Spasticity after Stroke and Multiple Sclerosis that in most cases can only be met by an interdisciplinary therapeutic team.

Why IAB?

Movement Disorders produce a wide range of symptoms and almost all are chronic, thus generating a huge burden of disease. The growing number of new therapeutic options represents a special interdisciplinary challenge.
In order to promote this interdisciplinary approach, IAB – Interdisciplinary Working Group for Movement Disorders 2006 was founded in Hamburg.
IAB offers patients and therapists the unique opportunity to network and to deepen the knowledge without bias. This leads to a sustained improvement in therapy and quality of life.
IAB is the only structured platform that offers a collaboration of all takeholders, whether patients and relatives or therapists.
