Movement Disorders

A Video Atlas

This book will be an introduction to the field of movement disorders, which is expanding rapidly with the involvement of various disciplines and specialties. The unique feature of the book is the accompanying DVD-ROM, comprising typical common cases in each category of movement disorders.

Each case will also include a box of salient features for each disorder, as well as a movement disorders quiz at the end of each chapter. The editors are not planning to include rare cases, but typical ones with good history and physical signs.

Contents Introduction.- Recognition of different types of movement disorders.- Parkinsonism.- Tremor.- Dys- tonia.- Tics and Tourette’s Syndrome.- Chorea and ballism.- Myoclonus.- Drug-induced movement disorders.- Psychogenic movement disorders.- Move- ment disorders quiz.
