Movement disorders • Disturbance in speed or fluency of voluntary movement or • the presence of unintended extra movement • Extrapyramidal diseases • Hyperkinetic excessive amt of spontanous motor activity and abnormal involuntary move occur • Hypokinetic Cx by akinesia or bradykinesia in which purposeful motor activity is absent or reduced Basal ganglia • Basal ganglia regulate the initiation,scaling and control of the amplitude and direction of movement • Movement disorders arise from biochemical or structural abnormalities in these structures. ..con • Clearing house • during an intended /projected movement one set of activities is facilitated all the other are surpassed • BRAKE prevents the target structures from generating unwanted motor activity • Switch selects which of the many available will be activated at any given time SWITCH BRAKE Evaluation of the pt • Hx and P/E • Drug exposure • systemic illnesses • family hx • developmental milestones • other neurological abnormalities,neuroimaging • agg/ptting factors • degree of functional impairment • Onset/progression • psychosocial issues • Neuor psychiatric abnormalities Parkinson’s disease • Most common eg of neurodegenerative disease that results from decreased dopaminergic transmission with in the striatum. • Characterized by bradykinesia tremor rigidity flexed posture/shuffling gait • Idiopathic in 75% • Familial 5% • Other causes 20% • Strongest risk factor is age >60yrs others male, family Hx ,rural living • Coarse 10-25yrs Pathogenesis • Degeneration of dopaminergic neurones • LB containing alpha synuclein as the main component • I/V of the anterior olfactory nuclei • Locus corleulus • Basal forebrain amygdala • substantia nigra pars compacta Manifestations • Bradykinasia the most disabling • bulbar • limbs Regidity Tremor Gait /posture Non motor features sensory symptoms Neuropsychiatric Autonomic Cognitive DDx DDx • • • • • • • • Cognitive abnormalities Hyperactive tendon reflexes Babniski’s signs cerebellar signs Ocular motility abnormalities Prominent postural instability Major autonomic manifestations Poor response to levodopa Symmetry of symptoms …CON • Lack of tremor • Differentiating these syndromes may take 2-4 YRS Ddx for pd Drug therapy • Levodopa • Dopamin agonists Bromocriptin/pergolide pramipexol/ropinirol • MAO inhibitors selegilin • COMT inhibitors entecapone telcapone • Anticholinergics/Amantadin …con • Initiate when the disease starts to interfere with the functional status of the pt • Which to initiate depends on the age Phenotype of the disease cognitive symptoms stage of the disease cost Therapy • Goal is to restore dopamin transmission in the striatum Principles 1.
