Movement disorders constitute a subspecialty of neurology focusing on a variety
of conditions characterized by hypokinetic, hyperkinetic, or abnormally
coordinated movements including, among others, tremor, dystonia, parkinsonism,
myoclonus, chorea, ballismus, tics, restless limbs, and ataxia. The term
"movement disorders" may be used to refer to either abnormal movements or
syndromes that cause these abnormal movements. The classification of movement
disorders is based on phenomenology, individual syndromes, or etiology. This
article reviews terminology used to describe movement disorders, discusses
individual movement disorders and their occurrence in patients with multiple
sclerosis, and reviews treatment options.
