A practical approach to movement disorders; diagnosis and medical and surgical management.

Movement disorders can range from annoying but medically inconsequential tics to the ravages of Parkinson's disease. Writing for the general practitioner or non-specialist, the authors cover the most common types of movement disorders encountered in clinical practice in this well-organized, symptom-based ("dancing," "jerky," unsteady") guide. Along with advice on diagnosis, therapeutic algorithms (including tables and scales) this gives medical, surgical, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments and interventions. The range of possible therapeutic interventions is impressive and includes what maybe considered alternative treatments, and because it is patient-based, considers and comments on nutrition, for which the authors are to be congratulated.
