Movement disorders (MD) are complex neurological conditions affecting the amount and fluidity of available movement control. These have multiple possible causes do not fit into other established diagnostic categories. MD, which include such as Parkinson's disease (PD), system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome, cervical dystonia others, a significant impact on quality life individuals worldwide but prevalence incidence rates vary by condition geographical area (Abbas et al., 2018).The MD increase with age (Wenning 2005), essential tremor PD being more common (Luo 2025;Song 2021). The spectrum impairments is very broad, bradykinesia or hypokinesia at one end tremor, dystonia, chorea, stereotypies, athetosis, myoclonus dyskinesias (Jankovic & Lang, In hyperkinetic disorders, abnormal involuntary movements may occur rest during voluntary be rhythmic (e.g. tremor), sustained dystonia) irregular chorea myoclonus) (Arabia 2022;Novellino 2009;Perju-Dumbrava Kempster, 2020;Stephen 2023). On hand, hypokinetic characterized reduction in and/or difficulty initiating often no identifiable cause referred to primary opposed secondary causes, infection (Desai 2024;Divya 2024). Both groups present both motor non-motor symptoms present, diagnosis management these challenging task for healthcare professionals, especially knowing that criteria frameworks diverse (Mestre 2023).For complete assessment, historical -family personal, including birth history early developmental abnormalities -and clinical features obtained physical examination laboratory testing paramount importance addition, technologysuch apps wearables -has shown promising results increasing objectivity assessment (Caroppo 2025;Vanmechelen 2023;Willemse 2024) proper validation studies needed confidence clinicians implementing solutions practice.The people also challenging, they experience difficulties mobility, balance activities daily living, symptoms, cognitive changes psychiatric manifest progresses. Given nature conditions, palliative approach can help throughout course long-term (Miyasaki 2022). Pharmacological therapy cornerstone (Jankovic, 2009;Pirker 2023) approaches, gene Kim Chang, 2024), becoming increasingly relevant. Moreover, evidence highlights therapeutic potential non-pharmacological approaches exercise therapy, nutrition-based interventions, reduce progression severity (Ferrazzoli 2022;Lister, 2020;Macías-García 2024;Zhang 2024).The aim this Research Topic was share ideas, opinions, comments latest research providing mechanisms safety exercise-and diet-induced neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory immunological) strategies improve adherence empowerment different contexts, gaps still need filled high evidence. This includes eight papers address questions. Four original four literature reviews deepen our understanding interventions their practical applications. Among contributions, Mateus Caldas reported three cases palsy, describing benefits physiotherapy through improving functionality life; cross-sectional study strengthened knowledge association between function health-related (Ge al.), insights aspects should tackled professionals; Yaqoob al. demonstrated an accelerometer-based gait sit-to-stand tasks has good agreement direct observation; Taloria presented non-randomized demonstrating multimodal (exercise, speech cognitive) training programme PD.The systematic published provided valuable certainty existing guide working well future area. Homann showed randomised controlled trials analysing Vitamin D supplementation later show benefit limited number MD. However, mainly led authors conclude there clear further For robust provide researchers. Yuan network meta-analysis identifying specific modalities dosages significantly patients PD, aquatic emerging most effective modality. findings partially challenged Liu who concluded hydrotherapy had positive maintenance effect population, effects function, life. Finally, Cui highlighted ACSM recommendations when prescribing higher compliance were beneficial balance, population.Taking account contributions Topic, body diet been strengthened. less dietary interventions.As expected increase, needed.
