Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to a special episode of the MDS podcast coming from the Movement Disorder Congress 2025.
2
We are so privileged to have Professor Ibeck with us to discuss today's topic, Functional Movement Disorders.
3
Professor Ibeck is a neurologist working at the University of Freiburg.
4
To say Professor Ibeck is a specialist in FND is an understatement.
5
We are very thankful to have you here today with us.
6
I just listened to your talk on functional movement disorders, diagnosis and management.
7
Before we dive into the content of functional movement disorders, can you maybe tell us a little bit about what got you interested in this topic?
8
Sure.
9
Thank you so much, first, for inviting me to take part in this podcast.
10
It's a pleasure.
11
And to talk about FND, my passion.
12
So about how I got into FND, it was actually the fascination for these clinical presentations that I saw during my training.
13
I had a mentor who was a movement disorder specialist, and he showed me these unusual cases because back then the diagnosis
14
but he started showing me that there are actually positive signs.
15
And I got so fascinated because we did not understand the pathophysiology.
16
Mainly that was my interest.
17
Why do these patients do these symptoms?
18
And I wanted to know more.
19
And I think that over the years, you've been such an amazing contributor to telling all of us about how that happens.
20
And so thank you for the amazing work you've done.
21
Yes, so FMD, functional movement disorder,
22
is actually a group of symptoms where people present with abnormal movements or abnormal motor patterns such as weakness.
23
And it's actually a subgroup of what we call FND,
24
functional neurological disorder, because the same disorder can also express in different ways and be seen by other neurologists,
25
like non -epileptic or functional seizures, for example, or speech disorder would be part of FMD but sometimes diagnosed by other specialists,
26
or sensory problems, vision, hearing, so all the senses.
27
And now more recently, we also defined two groups that belong to that, that are functional cognitive disorder and functional vertigo.
28
That has also this name of triple PD, PPPD for postural, persistent, perceptual dizziness.
29
So this is a whole group.
30
But we're focusing today on FMD, right, movement and motor problems.
31
Brilliant.
32
Thank you.
33
That gives us a great overview of where everything sits.
34
would you say FMD is?
35
FMD, again, in general has been shown to be one of the commonest cause to see a neurologist in different studies.
36
So it's very common.
37
It's been estimated also to represent up to a third of consultation in a general neurologist setting.
38
Now that said, it can also be
39
just FND or FND plus neurological disorder because it's not rare to see patients who can have both, right, coexisting.
40
And FMD is the commonest subtype.
41
So you mentioned that it can also be seen with a neurological condition.
42
Are there specific neurological conditions that it's often seen with, or can it be seen with any neurological condition?
43
So it can be seen with any.
44
So you can have any
45
symptom but there are some specific patterns that we now recognize
46
and one that is of particular interest I think
47
that we discussed in the session is the association of functional Parkinsonism with actually Parkinson's disease
48
and it's very interesting because first the clinical presentation is not
49
that easy we need to really carefully look for signs one of the signs we discussed in the video is
50
that the slowness of movement that you can see in functional
51
bit different in the sense that patient will be slow
52
when you do the finger tapping but they won't show this loss of amplitude
53
that is typical of the bradykinesia that we see in Parkinson's.
54
So these help you make the diagnosis of functional Parkinsonism.
55
And it's been shown now in a few case series that patients can have both, but when they have both, it tends to be that they start with the functional Parkinsonism,
56
sometimes years before we actually find or develop the signs and symptoms of Parkinson.
57
but they might develop the disease.
58
This is an example where the role of the neurologist is really very important.
59
So over the last few years, there's so much research that has been coming out around FND.
60
How do you feel that the medical community has responded to this research?
61
Do you feel there are still some controversies around it?
62
Yeah, so thank you indeed for raising this point
63
because we see big lag between what's shown in science and the literature and then the clinical application.
64
And here I'm referring to this whole evidence from the literature that now we can make the diagnosis with positive signs,
65
that there are a lot of positive signs that have been validated in studies showing a good specificity, showing a good inter -rater reliability,
66
and yet In clinical practice, it takes years before neurologists actually know these signs or use them.
67
And yeah, but I guess it's normal in the field, right?
68
But it takes years until clinical research comes into clinical practice.
69
And we need then to bridge that gap.
70
A lot of conferences teaching, postgraduate teaching, pregraduate teaching.
71
I think if we teach the young medical doctors early how to make the diagnosis, we won't have this issue anymore.
72
So to everyone listening, if you understand the ins and outs of diagnosis, go out and share with your colleagues.
73
So when making the diagnosis, do you ever discuss the prognosis with the patient?
74
Not necessarily.
75
I really wait for the patient to ask.
76
And we often have patients who ask.
77
And then my answer is that for an individual person, we cannot predict, we're not good at it.
78
But then I cite studies and I say that roughly 40 % of patients will still have symptoms, but that it really depends.
79
And I then tailor my explanation to what I see, because if I see a patient with acute symptoms,
80
I tend to be more encouraging and positive because from experience, not really from literature, but from experience, we know that they tend to get better quicker.
81
When we see patients with very chronic symptoms, I also want them to have realistic expectations, so I tell them that it will take months or years.
82
And again, it's not to discourage them, it's to make a good treatment plan with them that is realistic.
83
Thank you.
84
And again, when explaining the diagnosis to your patients, are there any big no -nos that you would say,
85
"Stay away from everyone, please." Yes, I think there are two words that we should stay away from.
86
It's to refer to a functional disorder on one hand and oppose it to a real disorder.
87
So the term real disorder should not be used.
88
Or genion is the other one to say this is a genion tremor, whereas this is a functional tremor.
89
This is really not helpful because it conveys really a sort of hierarchy of symptoms and that FND would be less important.
90
And we're talking to people who suffer on a daily basis with the symptoms.
91
And other than that, I think we can use term.
92
Of course functional is the most appropriate to me
93
because it's very descriptive but what matters more is our attitude
94
and our behavior and the respect we show to our patient
95
and we show them that we not only believe them
96
but we have seen many other patients like them
97
and it's not rare and we know what we're talking about and this reassures the patients a lot.
98
Brilliant, thank you.
99
So then moving towards management, how beneficial is it to see or to refer a patient for treatment as early as possible?
100
It's very important.
101
Going back to the prognosis, if we diagnose patients early and they can get into treatment early, they will get better.
102
So this is really the big effort that I've been trying to do in my country, in the different hospitals I've been working for, but also to advocate internationally.
103
These patients should be diagnosed really early so that we can influence the prognosis.
104
And then in terms of management, how important is an interdisciplinary team?
105
It's key.
106
To have an interdisciplinary team is key.
107
And we still see a lot of centers around the globe where neurologists feel very isolated
108
because they're able to make the diagnosis, but then they don't know where to refer.
109
They don't have a good physio around.
110
They don't have a psychiatrist or psychologist.
111
We see the other side where it's the psychiatrist that say, we don't have any neurologists interested in the team.
112
Or I've also talked to some OT, occupational therapists, that said, but I need a neurologist to certify it.
113
So it's really key that we all work together and that we develop then this teamwork.
114
Also because now there are studies that show
115
that we can really improve the patient's outcome with interdisciplinary treatment being outpatient setting or inpatient setting.
116
Both have now come in studies.
117
Thank you.
118
I really appreciate your time today and for sharing your knowledge with our listeners.
119
Thank you also for your amazing presentation at the Congress.
120
And to everyone that's been listening, thank you for opening your mind.
121
Thank you.
122

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
