With recent advances in the knowledge of pathogenesis, natural history
and available therapies for movement disorders, a group of clinicians
and scientists worked on establishing an advisory body that deals with
different issues regarding Movement Disorders in Saudi Arabia to help
patients affected by this disorder and advance the knowledge of those in
the medical profession and other medical sectors. The existence of this
group is essential as there are no known and identified groups or
organizations that deal with the issue of movement Disorders in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi
Movement Disorders Medical Group was established in March 20016 to
assist in the diagnosis and management of Movement Disorders in Saudi
Arabia and help individuals affected by this disorder.

achieve this, the group aims to do the following:
- Provide Movement Disorders related advice and assistance at
National level.

nationwide and conduct objective, specifically-focused workshops
concerned with movement Disorders diagnosis, treatment and other
related issues.
