Welcome to From Care to Cure, a podcast from the Massachusetts General Hospital Frontotemporal Disorders Unit. This episode features a conversation between Dr. Brad Dickerson, Director of the MGH FTD Unit, and Katie Brandt, the Director of Caregiver Support Services and Public Relations in the Unit, discussing the motor symptoms that can be present in FTD and related conditions, treatments available for these symptoms and how occupational, physical and speech language therapists can help people living with these conditions and their care partners to deal with motor symptoms.
