AB Movement  disorders  are  conditions  that  produce  either  reduced  or  excessive  movement.  Neurologic  disorders  that  result  in  a  paucity  or  slowness  of  movement  are  termed  hypokinetic  disorders.  The  category  of  hypokinetic  disorders  is  represented  by  Parkinson  disease  and  other  causes  of  parkinsonism.  Hyperkinetic  disorders  are  characterized  by  excessive,  involuntary  movements.  Hyperkinetic  disorders  can  usually  be  placed  into  one  of  five  main  categories  of  abnormal  movement:  dystonia,  chorea,  tremor,  myoclonus,  or  tic.
