Classify by anatomy,
distribution, cause,

Hyperkinetic
movement disorder
Rhythmic, sustained, intermittent,
speed, suppressibility, complex
movement
Chorea = dance
irregular, nonrhythmic, unsustained
involuntary movement that flows from
one part of the body to another
motor impersistence
Dancing lady
Dystonia
syndrome of sustained muscle
contractions, frequently causing twisting,
repetitive movements, or abnormal
postures
sustained contractions, consistent directional
or patterned character (predictable), and
exacerbation during voluntary movements
sensory trick
Generalised dystonia
Myoclonus
sudden, brief, jerky, and shock-like
involuntary movements involving face,
trunk, and extremities
positive myoclonus
negative myoclonus
Generalised myoclonus
Tremor
a rhythmic oscillation of a body part
produced by alternating or synchronous
contraction of opposing muscles
Tremor
Tics
repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary,
sudden, inopportune, non-propositional,
and irresistible movement
unpleasant feeling
not absolutely clear as patients can exert some control
on the movement
can be simple or complex
Ballism=dacing
involuntary, flinging motions of the extremities,
the movement are often violent and have wide
amplitude of motion, continuous and random,
can involve proximal or distal

Step 1: Diagnosis of
Parkinsonism
Bradykinesia and at least one of the
following:
Muscular rigidity
46 Hz resting tremor
Postural instability not caused by primary
visual, vestibular, cerebellar or
proprioceptive dysfunction
Finger tapping
Bradykinesia
Micrographia
Micrographia
Neuroleptic treatment at
onset of symptoms
>1 affected relatives
Sustained remission
Strictly unilateral features after
3 years
Babinski's sign
MPTP exposure
Cerebellar signs
Early severe autonomic involvement
Early severe dementia with
disturbances of memory, language
and praxis
Unilateral onset
Rest tremor present
Progressive disorder
Persistent asymmetry affecting the side of onset most
Excellent (70100%) response to levodopa
Severe levodopa-induced chorea
Levodopa response for 5 years
Clinical course of 10 years
Non-motor symptoms
Loss of sense of smell, constipation
REM behavior disorder (a sleep
disorder)
Mood disorders
Orthostatic hypotension (low blood
pressure when standing up)
Diagnostic studies
Modality of treatment
Neuro-protection
Prevention
Dopamine
Acetylcholine
Symptomatic based
treatment
Enhance dopaminergic transmission
L-dopa, dopamine agonist, drug that
decrease dopamine destruction
Anti-cholinergic drug
