The Movement Disorders Clinic is led by Medical Director, Abraham Lieberman, MD, an internationally recognized expert in Parkinson's disease.
Movement Disorders is a subspecialty in neurology that focuses on diagnosing and treating people with illnesses that affect movements. This includes evaluating a range of symptoms such as involuntary movements (tremors or jerky movements), slowness or interruptions in movements, abnormal posturing, and twisting or stiffness of the limbs.
The physicians of the Movement Disorders Clinic evaluate patients exhibiting abnormalities of gait, balance and coordination. Some physicians in the clinic have specialized training in administering botulinum toxin injections for treatment of various movement disorders. In addition, they have training in evaluation for deep brain stimulation surgery and managing deep brain stimulation.
The Movement Disorders Clinic is part of the Barrow Neurology Clinics and accepts most insurance plans.

Orthostatic Hypotension Evaluation
Orthostatic hypotension (dizziness on standing) or low blood pressure can be found in up to 25% of people with movement disorders. The physicians at the Movement Disorders Clinic use the CardioDynamics Bio Z ICG Monitor with a tilt table evaluation to calculate cardiac output, systemic vascular contractility and fluid status. Calculating these parameters allows physicians to create more efficient and effective treatments for orthostatic hypotension.
Tremor Evaluation
Physicians at the Movement Disorders Clinic conduct tremor evaluations to distinguish and treat different types of tremor such as Parkinson's disease, Essential Tremor, Dystonic tremor, Cerebellar tremor and additional neurological tremor.
