Description
The new text reviews all the developments in this key area of neurology including Parkinson's disease and other rigid syndromes leading to akinesia (or loss of the facility of movement). David Marsden, one of the co-editors of 'Bradley's Neurology In Clinical Practice', is the acknowledged world expert on the subject. He and his co-editor, Stanley Fahn have assembled an equally well-respected contributor list for this volume. It is a welcome addition to the BIMR Neurology Series, the whole of which is edited by Marsden and Fahn. Aim of the series * To produce volumes on topics in clinical neurology in which progress through research has brought about new concepts of patient management * To highlight areas of significant scientific advances - Journal of Swedish Medical Association, November 1994
