This book will help neurologists and other clinicians in the recognition and treatment of this important group of disorders.
Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that are characterised by problems with movement - either unwanted movements, such as tremors, jerks or twitches, or slowness and poverty of movement. Parkinson's disease is the most common of these conditions, and it affects approximately 1% of the population. Its treatment is complex, but effective, and there have been many recent exciting developments in the field.

Written in a concise, easy-to-use handbook format, it should appeal to a multidisciplinary audience.
