Movement disorders are a heterogeneous group of conditions that may be divided into hypokinetic (for example, Parkinson’s disease, progressive supranuclear palsy) and hyperkinetic (for example, dystonia, Huntington’s disease) conditions. Etiologies are diverse, including neurodegenerative disorders, structural (vascular, mass) lesions, autoimmune conditions, toxins, and others. In this presentation, we will examine important advances over the past 1-2 years in the most common movement disorder conditions: Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia.
