AB  - Movement  disorders  (sometimes  called  extrapyramidal  disorders)  impair  the  regulation  of  voluntary  motor  activity  without  directly  affecting  strength,  sensation,  or  cerebellar  function.  They  include  hyperkinetic  disorders  associated  with  abnormal,  involuntary  movements  and  hypokinetic  disorders  characterized  by  poverty  of  movement.  Movement  disorders  result  from  dysfunction  of  deep  subcortical  gray  matter  structures  termed  the  basal  ganglia.  Although  there  is  no  universally  accepted  anatomic  definition  of  the  basal  ganglia,  for  clinical  purposes  they  may  be  considered  to  comprise  the  caudate  nucleus,  putamen,  globus  pallidus,  subthalamic  nucleus,  and  substantia  nigra.  The  putamen  and  the  globus  pallidus  are  collectively  termed  the  lentiform  nucleus;  the  combination  of  lentiform  nucleus  and  caudate  nucleus  is  designated  the  corpus  striatum.
