Clinical overview and phenomenology of movement disorders Motor control:physiology of voluntary and involuntary movements Functional neuroanatomy of the basal ganglia Parkinsonism: clinical features and differential diagnosis Current concepts on the etiology and pathogenesis of Parkinson disease Medical treatment of Parkinson disease Surgical treatment of Parkinson disease and other movement disorders Nonmotor problems in Parkinson disease Atypical parkinsonism, parkinsonism-plus syndromes, and secondary parkinsonian disorders Gait disorders: pathophysiology and clinical syndromes Stiffness syndromes Dystonia: phenomenology, classification, etiology, pathology, biochemistry, and genetics Treatment of dystonia Huntington disease Chorea, ballism, and athetosis Tics and Tourette syndrome Stereotypies The tardive syndrome: phenomenology, concepts on pathophysiology and treatment, and other neuroleptic-induced syndromes Myoclonus: phenomenology, etiology, physiology, and treatment Ataxia: pathophysiology and clinical syndromes The paroxysmal dyskinesias Restless legs and peripheral movement disorders Wilson disease Psychogenic movement disorders: phenomenology, diagnosis, and treatment
Summary: Principles and Practice of Movement Disorders provides the complete, expert guidance you need to diagnose and manage these challenging conditions. Drs. Stanley Fahn, Joseph Jankovic and Mark Hallett explore all facets of these disorders, including the latest rating scales for clinical research, neurochemistry, clinical pharmacology, genetics, clinical trials, and experimental therapeutics. This edition features many new full-color images, additional coverage of pediatric disorders, updated Parkinson information, and many other valuable updates. An accompanying Expert Consult website makes the content fully searchable and contains several hundred video clips that illustrate the manifestations of all the movement disorders in the book along with their differential diagnoses. Get just the information you need for a clinical approach to diagnosis and management, with minimal emphasis on basic science. Find the answers you need quickly and easily thanks to a reader-friendly full-color format, with plentiful diagrams, photographs, and tables
