title: Management of movement disorders. An overview.
abstract: Functional neurosurgery has been involved with management of movement disorders since the first days of stereotactic surgery. Those movement disorders that can be managed surgically are reviewed, along with general criteria for patient selection. A flow sheet of surgically managed movement disorders is supplemented by descriptions of how patients are assigned to various treatment categories and the various treatments available.
