Choreopaths

Choreopaths (from chorea and Greek pathos - suffering, disease; synonym - kerera) - a group of diseases characterized by involuntary movements (hyperkinesis), impaired muscle tone and motor coordination.

Choreopathies are divided into hereditary and acquired. Hereditary include Huntington's disease, hereditary ataxias of Friedreich, Pierre-Marie, etc. Acquired include Sydenham's rheumatic chorea, neuroleptic chorea, etc.

The main clinical manifestations of choreopathy are involuntary movements (hyperkinesis), loss of balance, speech disorders, and coordination. Treatment is mainly symptomatic and pathogenetic. The prognosis depends on the form of the disease.

Choreopathies (choreophytopathies) are a whole complex of diseases that combine several different nosological units that differ in their etiology and pathogenesis. Existing diseases can be treated through the elimination of certain conditions, namely: disorders of regulation of muscle tone; abnormalities of the sensitivity of the nervous system; disorders of the autonomic support of the brain, heart and blood vessels; hypohormonal disorders.
