title: Stereotyped movement disorder of rocking.
abstract: Despite the relatively common occurrence of rocking behavior in children, the literature contains little information on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of this condition. The authors report a case of body rocking in an 8-year-old girl, for which they discuss possible etiological factors and therapeutic strategy.
