Understanding Chorea
What is Chorea?
Chorea is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary, irregular, unpredictable, and non-rhythmic movements that appear dance-like or jerky. These movements can affect any part of the body and often interfere with daily activities, speech, and swallowing. The term derives from the Greek word 'choros' meaning dance, reflecting the characteristic flowing quality of the movements.
