Increased incidence of Functional movement disorders during COVID-19 pandemic
Objective: To assess the frequency of functional movement disorders (FMD) during the COVID-19 pandemic in comparison to the pre-pandemic period and to identify factors causing…Internal tremor in Parkinson disease and essential tremor: a new glance at a common symptom
Objective: To assess the prevalence of internal tremor in a cohort of PD versus ET patients and its association with non-motor symptoms. Background: Internal tremor…Variability of tremor is not always functional: A feasibility study on the aetiological differentiation of tremor
Objective: To study the clinical characteristics and electrophysiological findings of laboratory -supported FT in comparison with OrgT.To study the clinical characteristics and electrophysiological findings of…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…‘Listen’ to your tremor patient..with a stethoscope!
Objective: To report a novel and inexpensive method for evaluating tremor in the clinic and at the bedside. Background: Tremor is the most common involuntary…Quantitative Tremor Analysis of Functional Tremor
Objective: To compare the characteristic frequency of functional tremor with other tremor disorders using 3-D motion analysis and kinematics. Background: Functional tremor (FT) is a…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…
