The field of movement disorders is relatively broad, encompassing
disorders of increased movement, such as tremors, dystonia, and
tics, to disorders characterized by a paucity of movement, such as
Parkinson's disease. Our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms
and our treatment options are expanding at a rapid pace. This
expansion ranges from the medical and surgical advances in treating
Parkinson's disease to the flood of genetic abnormalities that have
now been found to cause various movement disorders. Although many
patients are seen by the movement disorders specialist in neurology
clinics around the country, most of these patients receive their
followup care from a primary care physician or "general"
neurologist who must be versed in the character istics and
treatment plans of this diverse group of disorders. The major goal
of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders: Diagnosis and
Treatment Guidelines for the Practicing Physician is to distill
this immense amount of information and to educate the practitioner
about the many facets of the movement disorders field. We believe
that this book fills a large void, since most texts on movement
disorders are more detailed and geared toward the specialist. We
have asked the chapter authors to emphasize the clinical
characteristics of each disorder, discuss the differential
diagnosis and the diagnostic testing, and then outline the various
treatment options, as if they were teaching during a preceptorship
in their clinic."
