Managing Functional Movement Disorder in Outpatient Physical Therapy: A Case Report of Belly-Dancer Dyskinesia
Objective: Abdominal dyskinesia, often referenced as belly dancer syndrome, is a poorly understood clinical presentation involving involuntary, undulating movements of the abdomen.1 Few cases have…Functional movement disorder mimicking Parkinson’s disease, a case with supporting evidence
Objective: Young onset Parkinson’s disease diagnosis can be challenging, and it is a rare subtype of a disease typically associated with older age. On the…Clinical spectrum of Functional Movement Disorders: A clinic based study from a developing country
Objective: We did a retrospective record review to determine the proportion of patients with functional MD visiting our clinic and to characterize the phenomenology of…The role of attention in functional movement disorders
Objective: Identify where the attentional focus naturally lies in functional movement disorders and evaluate which abnormal attentional foci contribute to symptom generation. The ultimate aim…Can a smartphone accelerometer differentiate between functional and organic tremor ?
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine if a smartphone accelerometer can distinguish functional tremor from organic tremor. Background: Differentiating functional tremor from…Incongruity of Functional Tremor Predicts Better Response to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment
Objective: We hypothesised that patient whose functional tremor (FT) has more “voluntary” aspects may respond better to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Background: Patients with…rTMS-induced effects on Functional Tremor: a randomized, double-blind, controlled study
Objective: To compare the effect on functional tremor (FT) of real rTMS vs sham and to test if hypnosis combined with rTMS might help to…Electrophysiological characteristics of task-specific and position-specific tremor: A variant of dystonic tremor?
Objective: To explore the role of the bedside electrophysiological tests and the characteristics of tremor in task-specific and position-specific tremor. Background: Task-specific and position-specific tremors…Subjective and objective complaints of (functional) tremor: An individual approach
Objective: To correlate subjective and objective symptom fluctuations in patients with a functional (FT) or organic tremor (OT). Furthermore, to study the contribution of factors…Psychogenic Palatal Tremor: A Case Report
Objective: Palatal tremor(PT) is an extremly rare movement disorder, defined by rhythmic movements of the soft palate. PT is divided into two forms: essential PT(EPT)…
