Researchers are not sure exactly what causes movement disorders, but they are studying how genetics and environmental factors may affect your chances of developing a movement disorder.
Some research has shown that there may be a link between some movement disorders and exposure to toxic chemicals, such as lead, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, that are used in the farming and manufacturing industries. People who work with these chemicals, or people who have a family history of movement disorders, may be at an increased risk of developing a movement disorder.
