The 20 Best Chorea Doctors Near Me in Houston, TX

Jerky body movement is a condition in which a person makes fast movements that they cannot control and that have no purpose. These movements interrupt the person's normal movement or posture.

When abnormal movements are excessive, they are called hyperkinetic movements and include myoclonus (jerking and twitching), ballismus (violent flinging of extremities), chorea (slow, twisting, or continued movements), among others.
