  • This video is intended to serve as an overview of movement disorders for medical students. Students This video is intended to serve as an overview of movement disorders for medical students. Students will learn to identify and classify a movement disorder, look for parkinsonism on the neurological examination, list differential diagnoses of tremor and parkinsonism, and recall early and late treatment options for Parkinson's disease.

    I have a case of involuntary movements, but they only last for about 15 seconds maximum, and they usually begin when my left foot moves uncontrollably and toes move uncontrollably, then my left arm, left shoulder, and fingers and wrists kinda twist 180 degrees and my back hunches over and I begin to have a crazy seizure like momment. I'm 15 and have had this for a year now. The terms and videos that were slowed really helped me to kinda get an idea of what my condition could be, but luckily for me, I don't have it too severely like most people in the video.

    • @theneurophile

    • @theneurophile
      @theneurophile  Před rokem +2

      Of course. We used a video of a dystonia in a musician, but it wasn’t obvious enough, so I replaced it with a hand dystonia. Also, I talked about the null point in patients with dystonia, but that really only applies to dystonia tremor. This would introduce confusion to new learners, so we removed it.

    Although many diseases can have a mix of both.
    *Parkinsonism*
    Presents as bradykinesia (slowness of movement, starts distally, lacks precision of fingers, drag legs, reduced amplitude), Rigidity(explain how it is different from spasticity)and tremor( a hyperkinetic character of a hypokinetic disorder!)
    Tremor is a involuntary ,rythmic, oscillatory movement of a body part. Can occur in action (kinetic/postural) -essential ,drug induced, metabolic/endocrine, enhanced physiological,neuropathic, dystonic, cerebellar
    or
    can occur at rest-idiopathoc Parkinson disease, secondary and atypical Parkinsonism. Test-outstreched hand hold posture, finger to nose, Rigidity assess and rapido alternative movements (asesse bradykinesia),assess coordination,balance and gait
    Dystonia - phenomena characterized by intermittent or sustained muscle contraction causing abnormal often repetitive movements or posture which can be stopped by sesory trick -antagonist gesture( explain antagonist gesture), can be task specific.
    Chorea(Latin -dance)-involutary , breif and irregular movement " hemiballismus variant
    Ticks - sudden, rapid, recurrent, nonrythmic , individually recognisable motor movement : may be accompanied by vocal ticks (explain) coprolalia,echolalia, palililia. Also premonitory urge may be present
    Myoclonus is a hyperkinetic, involuntary movement that is uniquely very brief. Negative and Positive myoclonus (difference)

    Doctor Why there is a Babinski sign in Friedrich ataxia?

    • @theneurophile
      @theneurophile  Před 4 měsíci +1

      There is demyelination of corticospinal tracts in the spine. There is atrophy of the spinal cord after damage. So injuring the corticospinal tracts results in “long tract signs” like Babinski and hyper-reflexia.

    Doctors suspect that my 79-year-old husband has suspected Charcot Marie Tooth Disease (CMT). Physically this means, high arches, hammer toes, neuropathy in toes and feet, wonky walking, loss of smell, slurring his words, tripping and falling etc. He had a nerve test and this is when the physician first noted CMT. Would you consider this a "movement disorder?"

    • @theneurophile

    Hi! At 55:36 the audio has a (big!) error where it says "Every patient with Parkinsonism has Parkinson's disease." The caption is correct: "But not every patient..." Seems like a crucial thing to fix! ;)

      @ThePublicHealthHeaux Před rokem

      ​@@theneurophile
      I'm SURE you are saying the correct statement! :)
      But there’s a clear audio/tech issue somehwere. Is this happening to others listening too? 

      Listening to that whole little section again, I'm hearing MANY recurring "hiccups" actually, where the caption is fine but the first part of one of your words isn't coming through. Ex: 55:25, where only the last 2 syllables (maybe 3) of “bradykinesia” can be heard (“‘nesia.”). 55:31, same thing occurs with the word “Parkinsonism” (the second occurrence, starting the sentence “Parkinsonism is absolutely necessary to diagnose Parkinson’s disease.”) where again the first part of this word gets muffled out. Then the next sentence (the ONLY instance I even consciously noticed first time listening) the audio cuts out “But not” from “But not every patient…” Then the word "Parkinsonism" is cut off in another instance (same exact way); then the sentence “Drugs!” gets cut out from the audio (but again, captioning is perfect). 


      I second everybody's THANKS for this amazing video--and the WHOLE series I’ve yet to dig into--btw! Given how I’m using it to help figure out my own really debilitating medical mystery that has led two impeccable compassionate specialists (neuro + neurosurgeon) to separately refer me to a movement disorder specialist, I may appreciate it differently--dare I say more, as it's not a purely academic concern?--than most of the folks commenting. Hopefully these audio hiccups are NOT another symptom emerging! ;D Thank you again!

    The question is how many of you watching understand medication injury and things like akathisia? I couldn’t find a neurologist that could identify akathisia or tardive symptoms with someone there screaming that they had it. Even top movement disorder specialists. No one should be prescribing antidepressants or benzodiazepines or stimulants or opiates or any psychotropic until they can identify akathisia. You cannot treat akathisia without turning it into a monster. Benzodiazepine Induced Neurological disorder is real and crippling people. Antidepressant injury and antidepressant tapering issues are also very real. Especially tardive akathisia after years of cumulative use.
