Common Movement Disorders

Using a series of case presentations with actual patients, this well-produced videocassette thoroughly reviews the diagnosis and evaluation of common movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, chorea, dystonia, tics, hemiballismus, athetosis, painful legs moving toes syndrome, and hemifacial spasm. The continuous narrative highlights the features displayed in each case. The presentation of Parkinson's disease is especially thorough, with segments showing tremor, akinesia, rigidity, loss of postural reflexes, and glabellar reflex. The differential diagnosis and staging of Parkinson's disease are also shown. This videocassette is ideal for residents and clinicians involved in diagnosing and treating patients presenting with movement disorders.
