Clinical Management of Movement Disorders
Subject
Clinical Medicine
Description
Movement disorders represent a heterogeneous field of Neurology that includes a wide
variety of diseases. Phenomenologically, such disturbances are classically distinguished
into hyperkinetic and hypokinetic disorders. Clinical evaluation is the gold standard for
the diagnosis and management of the majority of movement disorders, but diagnostic
criteria continue to suffer from a high error rate. Novel technologies could help to
enhance the management of the diagnostic and monitoring process. On the therapeutic
level, the current treatments are only symptomatic with the main aim of improving
patients’ quality of life. The present reprint is a collection of high-quality reviews and
original articles focused on various aspects of the clinical management of movement
disorders, from relevant diagnostic techniques, to disease progression and symptom
monitoring tools, to treatment management.
