Movement disorders are clinical syndromes with either an excess of movement or a paucity of voluntary and involuntary movements, unrelated to weakness or spasticity.Movement disorders are conventionally divided into two major categories- hyperkinetic and hypokinetic. +Hypokinetic movement disordersHyperkinetic movement disorders Rigidity Akinesia (lack of movement) Hypokinesia (reduced amplitude of movements) Bradykinesia (slow movement), and rigidity.Tremor (Rest, postural, action)Bhatia, K.

Chorea and ballism Myoclonus Tics / Tic disorders In primary movement disorders, the abnormal movement is the primary manifestation of the disorder. In secondary movement disorders, the abnormal movement is a manifestation of another systemic or neurological disorder. Treatment depends upon the underlying disorder.

Diagnosis Step I : Decide the dominant type of movement disorder
Step II : Make differential diagnosis of the particular disorder
Step II: Confirm the diagnosis by lab tests Metabolic screening Microbiology Immunology CSF examination Genetics Imaging Neurophysiological tests Pharmacological tests Sleep study
History Vesalius and Piccolomini in 16th century distinguished subcortical nuclei from cortex and white matter. However Willis' conceptualized the corpus striatum as the seat of motor power in the late 17th century. In mid-19th-century movement disorders were localized to striatum by Choreaby Broadbent and Jackson, and athetosis by Hammond. By the late 19th century, many movement disorders were described, but for most no pathologic correlate was known.
