Movement disorders
• observed during the interview („one look is worth a
thousand words“)
• abnormal involuntary movements are exaggerated with
anxiety and diminished during sleep
2 categories - syndromes:
1) Akinetic-rigid – paucity of spontaneous movement,
increased tone (rigidity)
examples: Parkinson´s disease, vascular encephalopathy / dementia
2) Hyperkinetic-hypotonic – irregular involuntary
movements, often at varying sites, diminished muscle tone at
rest (chorea, athetosis, ballism, dystonias)
example: Huntington´s disease
5
Types of abnormal movements
• Tremor = involuntary, rhythmic movement across
a joint:
1) rest – at rest
2) static, postural – only with a specific posture
3) intention – only with motion
• Chorea = sudden movement usually involving the
extremities and the face
• Athetosis = a slow, sinuous movement
(the distinction is sometimes unclear – choreoathetosis)
6
Types of abnormal movements
• (Hemi-)ballism = irregular, sudden, large-amplitude
movements of an entire limb or limbs
• Myoclonus = spontaneous, shocklike contractions of
one or more muscles across a joint (the jerk-like
movements during falling asleep in dogs, cats and man)
• Tics = irregular, stereotyped movements, often in the
face
• Dystonia = a sustained abnormal or inappropriate
posture
7
History of the patient
with a movement disorder
• symmetry, exacerbating or alleviating factors (stress,
sleep, alcohol)
• family history – many movement disorders
• drug history (!) – neuroleptics → parkinsonism, tardive
dyskinesias; antiemetics ! → dystonia, dyskinesia
• alcohol history → cerebellar degeneration / dysfunction,
Wernicke encephalopathy, alleviate essential tremor
• medical history – hyperthyroidism → tremor, liver
disease → asterixis
8
Neurologic examination
• have the patient draw a spiral or connect dots as a
permanent record of the motor dysfunction; later this
can be used to monitor the efficacy of treatment
• muscle tone: hypertonia – a passive movement
of the arm
• abnormal postures – during station and gait testing
9
The Parkinsonian SYNDROME
(parkinsonism)
= movement abnormalities mainly characterized by:
1) bradykinesia, hypokinesia, 2) rigidity and 3) resting
tremor, 4) postural abnormalities (stance and gait)
• based on pathology in basal ganglia and their
connections
10
The Parkinsonian syndrome
BRADYKINESIA, HYPOKINESIA („slow
movements“):
– slowness of walking, other movements (and
mental processes), delayed responses physically
and mentally
– difficulty in initiating movements
– slow and smaller handwriting
– reduced facial reactions („masked face“)
11
The Parkinsonian syndrome
RIGIDITY (increased tone):
– passively move the extremities
– increased tone as increased resistance
(cogwheel phenomenon)
– !! (versus spasticity)
12
The Parkinsonian syndrome
TREMOR:
– at rest
– most commonly in hands and fingers
(a „pill rolling“ motion)
– often begins unilaterally and distally
– spreads proximally and to the other side over
months or years
– usually asymmetric
13
The Parkinsonian syndrome
POSTURAL CHANGES during station and gait :
– slight flexion of back
– the first steps are slow and small
– difficult turning
– imbalance
– falls
14
The Parkinsonian syndrome
OTHER FEATURES:
– micrographia
– dysarthria
– cognitive slowing
– mood lability
– dementia
15
Causes of parkinsonism
the problem to distinguish in a patient with parkinsonism:
1) Idiopathic Parkinson´s disease (80 %)
2) Secondary parkinsonian syndromes (20 %)
 vascular parkinsonism
rarer causes:
 drug-induced (dopamin receptor blockers: neuroleptics, antiemetics)
 Wilson´s disease
 normal pressure hydrocephalus
 carbon monoxide poisoning
 trauma
 post-encephalitic parkinsonism (in the past)
 parkinson plus syndromes (corticobasal syndrome, progressive
supranucelar palsy, Lewy body disease)
16
Parkinson´s DISEASE (vs. syndrome)
• chronic, slowly progressive, degenerative
and usually sporadic disease
a) loss of dopaminergic neurons pars compacta
substantiae nigrae – lack of dopamin
b) Lewy bodies – deposits of alfa-synuclein
(synucleinopathy)
• in old age over 50 years, prevalence rises with
age

18
Parkinson´s disease – clinical features
the parkinsonian syndrome
– „everything is hypo- (reduced)“:
• upper limbs – hypokinesia and rigidity,
micrographia, reduced synkinesias during gait
• gait disorders – steps: too small, too slow,
freezing, difficult turning
• face – hypomimia
• speech – hypofonia, dysarthria
19
Parkinson´s disease – other clinical features
• rest tremor – very typical, not in all patients
• depression
• cognitive disturbances (attention, executive
functions), dementia in late phases
20
Parkinson´s disease – diagnosis
• the diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation in 3 steps:
1) the presence of hypokinetic-rigid syndrome and other
features typical for Parkinson´s disease
2) red flags – suspect an alternative diagnosis – features for
secondary parkinsonism: repeated strokes and step-wise onset,
neuroleptics, supranuclear gaze palsy, cerebellar syndromes, early
severe dementia, Babinski sign, brain tumor or hydrocephalus on CT
scanning, absence of dopa responsiveness
3) the response to dopaminergic treatment
21
Parkinson´s disease – treatment
22
Parkinson´s disease – treatment
a replacement of decreased dopamine concentration:
• levodopa – is the most effective treatment, most patients
have a remarkable response to levodopa, commonly used if
patients have Parkinson´s disease
and / or
• dopaminergic agonists (bromocriptine, pregolide, ropinirole,
cabergoline, pramipexole) – usually a weaker effect and more
peripheral adverse effects (blood pressure fluctuations,
arrhythmias, nausea, vomiting)
•„start low, go slow“
• deep brain stimulation (neuropacemaker)
23

24
Secondary parkinsonian syndromes
frontal type of gait (lower body parkinsonism) – symmetrical
involvement of lower limbs, more than relatively spared upper limbs:
• vascular parkinsonian syndrome – multiple, repeated
strokes in basal ganglias (postsynaptic damage, sometimes
effective levodopa) – step-wise progression, Babinski +, axial
phenomena, pseudobulbar syndrome, cognitive deficit,
dementia
• normal pressure hydrocephalus – triad:
1) gait disorder, 2) cognitive deficit, 3) urine incontinence
treatable condition !
25
Vascular parkinsonian syndrome
bilateral lesions!
26
Normal pressure hydrocephalus
27
Drug-induced secondary parkinsonism
(contraindicated in Parkinson´s disease)
• dopamine receptor blockers:
– typical neuroleptics (fenothiazines – chlorpromazine,
butyrophenons – haloperidole)
– antiemetics (neuroleptics) – metoclopramid
• calcium channel blockers – flunarizine, cinnarizine
 treatment of delirium in Parkinson´s patients
with ATYPICAL antipsychotic drugs - tiapride
28
Wilson´s disease
(=hepatolenticular degeneration)
• a genetic autosomal recessive disorder of copper
metabolism
• „parkinsonism in the young“
• progressive, „wing-beating“ tremor, rigidity,
dysarthria, mental changes, hepatic dysfunction,
corneal Kayser-Fleischer ring
• less commonly tremor
• treatment: penicillamine, zinc sulfate

Treatment
of secondary parkinsonian syndromes
• vascular parkinsonism – controlling vascular risk factors,
rehabilitation
rarer causes:
• normal pressure hydrocephalus – ventriculo-peritoneal
shunt
• drugs (neuroleptics, antiemetics) – anticholinergic agents,
atypical antipsychotics
• Wilson´s disease – penicillamine, zinc
• post-traumatic, carbon monoxide poisoning rehabilitation
32
Treatment differences
in two parkinsonian syndromes
idiopathic Parkinson´s disease
vascular parkinsonism
• presynaptic disease
• postsynaptic (presynaptic ?) disease
• low dopamine concentrations
• normal dopamine concetrations
• dopaminergic responsiveness
• no effect of dopaminergic drugs
33
Movement disorders in broader sense
• Chorea = sudden movement usually
involving the extremities and the face
• Ataxia = an impairment of coordination in
the absence of significant weakness
1) limb
2) truncal
= cerebellar disorders
34
Chorea
• irregular, asymmetric, sudden, brief, shooting
involuntary movements
• in distal segments of the extremities
• grimacing and lip-smacking
35
Huntington´s disease
• autosomal dominant inheritance
• expanded CAG repeat on the chromosome 4
• longer CAG repeat – earlier age of onset
• age: 30-50 years
• presymptomatic diagnosis by genetic testing
• very poor prognosis: death after 10-15 years from
the diagnosis
• no etiologic treatment, symptomatic management
36
Hemiballism
• „ballistic“ movements of high amplitude involving
multiple segments of a limb
• cause: stroke in the subthalamic nucleus
• neuroleptics, but usually resolves spontaneously
in a few weeks
37
Cerebellar disorders
syndromes:
– neocerebellar (limb ataxia, intention tremor, dysdiadochokinesia)
– palleocerebellar (truncal ataxia, unstable stance in the Romberg
test, unstable, broad-based gait, dyssynergy)
– mixed (global)
• an important neuroanatomical association of the cerebellum
with the rest of the brain
38
39
Causes of cerebellar disorders
VINDICATE:
• Vascular (stroke)
• Inflammatory (encephalitis)
• Neoplastic (tumors – meningeoma, gliomas –
oligodendroglioma, astrocytoma)
• Degenerative (spinocerebellar ataxias, paraneoplastic
syndromes)
• Intoxication (alcohol, Wernicke´s encephalopathy,
antiepileptics, lithium)
• Congenital – Arnold-Chiari, agenesis
• Autoimmune (multiple sclerosis, paraneoplastic
cerebellar degeneration in ovarian cancer)
•Traumatic (contusion, sub- / epi- dural hematomas)
• Endocrine (metabolic – see intoxication)
40
Wernicke´s encephalopathy
• conditons due to thiamin deficiency
• even in nonalcoholics, e.g. in patients vomiting, poor
nutrition
• oculomotor disturbances (abducent palsy, nystagmus, gaze palsy)
• ataxia (more truncal than limb, unable to stand or walk)
• antero- and retrograde amnesis + confabulations
• brain MR: lesions in periaqueductal region and adjacent to
the third ventricle (demyelination, small foci of hemorrhage)
• treatment: thiamin
• glucose solutions after thiamin has been given, otherwise it
may induce acute worsening of Wernicke´s encephalopathy
• early treatment – regression, often residual deficits
