A Brief Introduction to Movement Disorders

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Clinical Neurology ((CCNEU))

Abstract

Movement disorders is a subspecialty field of neurology concerned with patients who either move too much or not enough. This text and its accompanying CD are not designed to serve as a basic textbook of movement disorders. Several excellent texts are already available to satisfy this need. Rather, this book focuses on an interesting and, we think, underrepresented area within movement disorders: movement disorder emergencies.
