Huntington’s Disease may occur due to:

• Genetic testing
• MRI scan
• CT scan
• Balance and gait assessment
• Functional mobility evaluation
• Cognitive assessment

Physiotherapy rehabilitation helps maintain mobility, improve balance, reduce stiffness, and support safe movement and independence.

• Gentle stretching techniques
• Positioning techniques
• Heat therapy for muscle relaxation
• Relaxation exercises
