Book description
Hyperkinetic movement disorders comprise a range of diseases
characterized by unwanted and uncontrollable, or poorly controllable,
involuntary movements. The phenomenology of these disorders is quite
variable encompassing chorea, tremor, dystonia, myoclonus, tics, other
dyskinesias, jerks and shakes. Discerning the underlying condition can
be very difficult given the range and variability of symptoms. But
recognizing the phenomenology and understanding the pathophysiology are
essential to ensure appropriate treatment.
