Physical Features

This chapter focuses mainly on the movement disorder, speech, balance, weight loss, swallowing, and speech. Chorea or purposeless involuntary movement is most commonly associated with HD. A patient may have a mixture of movement problems such as dystonia (abnormal posture), and bradykinesia (slowness of movement). The pattern of movement disorder may vary between people but frequently the dystonia and bradykinesia become more prominent as the disease progresses. As this happens more professionals may become involved in the care. It is important for the carer(s) to also take care of themselves.

Holmes Tremor

Tremor is the most common movement disorder and denotes a rhythmic and involuntary movement of one or several regions of the body. This review covers disease definition, essential tremor, enhanced physiologic tremor, parkinsonian tremor, dystonic tremor, orthostatic tremor, cerebellar tremor, Holmes tremor, neuropathic tremor, palatal tremor, drug-induced and toxic tremors, functional tremor, rare tremor syndromes, tremorlike conditions, and treatment of tremor. Figures show action tremor assessment, the central nervous system circuits of tremor, magnetic resonance imaging findings in specific tremor conditions, general management of tremor patients, an algorithm for the treatment of parkinsonian tremor, and an algorithm for the treatment of dystonic tremor and primary writing tremor. Tables list types of tremor according to the condition of activation, tremor conditions in newborns and during childhood, clinical features of the most common tremor syndromes, motor signs other than tremor and nonmotor features of essential tremor patients, Movement Disorder Society consensus criteria for the diagnosis of essential tremor, genetic and environmental causes of essential tremor, causes of enhanced physiologic tremor, drugs and toxins known to cause tremor, paroxysmal tremors, pseudorhythmic myoclonus in the differential diagnosis of tremor, and pharmacologic management of essential tremor. Key words: essential tremor, movement disorder, pathologic tremor, physiologic tremor, tremor This review contains 6 highly rendered figures, 7 videos, 11 tables, and 163 references.

The Difference

AimsIn a survey of movement disorders in patients in a State Hospital the finger-nose test was included because of increasing interest in the cerebellum in schizophrenia. It was expected that this would reflect the pathobiology of schizophrenia and be unrelated to the type of medication.BackgroundAbnormalities of movement and involuntary movements have gone from being considered part of schizophrenia to side-effects of medication to now demonstrably present in those who have never taken anti-psychotic medication. Soft neurological signs (SNS) are increased in schizophrenia, unrelated to medication, considered not to indicate brain localization, yet often include the finger-nose test which localizes to the cerebellum.MethodAll available patients in a State Hospital were examined for movement disorders. They were rated on the following scales: Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) for Tardive Dyskinesia (TD), Simpson-Angus Neurological Rating Scale for Parkinsonism (SANRS), Barnes Akathisia Scale (BAS), a Dystonia scale and the finger-nose test.Result250 patients were included, 174 were examined or observed for movement disorder: 120 had no missing data, 54 refused part of the exam. Their mean age was 47, 62% male, 53% black, 26% Hispanic, 17% white.Medication: First Generation Antipsychotic (FGA) 35 (mean CPZ equivalent dose:1177mg), Second Generation Antipsychotic (SGA) 159 (734mg), both FGA and SGA 56 (1907mg), no antipsychotic 3; anticholinergic or amantidine: FGA 57%, SGA 16%, both FGA and SGA: 50%.Tardive Dyskinesia: all 23%, FGA 36%, SGA 25%, both 7%Parkinsonism: all 38%, FGA 43%, SGA 33%, both 34%Akathisia: all 3%, FGA 0%, SGA 4%, both 3%Pseudo-akathisia: FGA 11%, SGA 4%, both13%Dystonia: all 10%, FGA 13%, SGA 11%, both 8%Intention Tremor: all 16%, FGA 0%, SGA 21%, both 16%Half of those with Intention Tremor had Parkinsonism, a third had TD and a half were on anti-Parkinson medication.None of these differences were statistically significant at p = 0.05 though intention tremor did show a trend (p = 0.08). The difference between FGA and SGA only became significant when all movement disorders were added together with those on anticholinergics with no movement disorder.When compared with rates in similar State Hospitals in the 1970s tardive dyskinesia was now half the rate and Parkinsonism about the same.ConclusionOverall rates of movement disorder are not very different between FGA and SGA. The surprise was that intention tremor only occurred with SGAs. Why?

History Of

Jumping stump syndrome is considered to be a peripherally induced movement disorder due to damage to peripheral nerves leading to dystonia or myoclonus. Anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 antibody (anti-LGI 1 Ab) encephalitis is clinically characterized with progressive cognitive dysfunction and seizure including facial brachial dystonic seizure. We report a case of a woman with a history of intractable involuntary movement on amputated forearm diagnosed as anti-LGI 1 Ab encephalitis, mimicking symptoms of jumping stump syndrome.

Familial Cases

Paroxysmal choreoathetosis is a rare, involuntary movement disorder. Attacks occur spontaneously or may be induced by movement, startle, or anxiety. The movements are tonic, dystonic, or choreoathetotic. Sporadic and, more commonly, familial cases have been reported. Onset occurs most often during childhood, and the course is nonprogressive. Response to anticonvulsant therapy is usually excellent. Five cases of the sporadic form of paroxysmal choreoathetosis are reported. Three of the five patients had attacks after initiation of movements such as rising from a chair. Results of physical examination were normal in four patients. One child had mild hemiatrophy and unilateral hyper-reflexia. Results of laboratory studies, including determinations of serum calcium and ceruloplasmin levels, EEGs, and CAT scans of the head, were normal. The attacks ceased in all patients after treatment with either phenytoin or carbamazepine.
