Developments in the field of movement disorders are progressing at a rapid pace. It is quite a challenge to educate neurologists and others in the medical profession about the current status of many of the disorders, and to keep the discourse short and easy to comprehend.

The Handbook of Movement Disorders presents the most important material in a condensed fashion, with a maximum number of figures and tables, and a minimum amount of text. By keeping both the text and the ccompanying figures and tables lucid and memorable the goal is to educate readers and to provide them with an approach to the field of movement disorders that results in better care of their patients.
