Diagnosis and management for abnormal involuntary movements

Abstract

How to diagnose and manage for involuntary movement is one of the attractive issues in neurology. In this issue I provide how to make a diagnosis on abnormal involuntary movement. Abnormal involuntary movements are consist of tremor, dystonia, chorea myoclonus, tic and so on. They are frequently observed in neurology clinic. It is important to diagnose of them by history taking, inspection, neurological examination, and confirmed with both imaging such as MRI and electrophysiological examination. Electrophysiological examination consist of the surface electromyography, the evoked potentials (auditory, visual, spinal and so on), and equilibrium function tests. I hope this issue encourage your practice on movement disorders.
