Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders 
Differential Diagnosis and Treatment

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.

Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders provides a clinical
pathway for effective diagnosis and management of these disorders.
The stellar international cast of authors distils the evidence so
you can apply it into your practice. The judicious use of

* diagnostic criteria

* algorithms

* rating scales

* management guidelines

Provides a robust framework for clear patient management.
