AB APPROACH  TO  THE  PATIENTMovement  DisordersDivided  into  akinetic  rigid  forms,  with  muscle  rigidity  and  slowness  of  movement,  and  hyperkinetic  forms,  with  involuntary  movements.  In  both  types,  preservation  of  strength  is  the  rule.  Most  movement  disorders  arise  from  disruption  of  basal  ganglia  circuits;  common  causes  are  degenerative  diseases  (hereditary  and  idiopathic),  drug  induced,  organ  system  failure,  CNS  infection,  and  ischemia.  Clinical  features  of  the  various  movement  disorders  are  summarized  below.
