Hyperkinetic movement disorders comprise a range of diseases characterized by unwanted and uncontrollable, or poorly controllable, involuntary movements. The phenomenology of these disorders is quite variable encompassing chorea, tremor, dystonia, myoclonus, tics, other dyskinesias, jerks and shakes. Discerning the underlying condition can be very difficult given the range and variability of symptoms. But recognizing the phenomenology and understanding the pathophysiology are essential to ensure appropriate treatment. Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders provides a clinical pathway for effective diagnosis and management of these

The basal ganglia are a series of interconnected subcortical nuclei involved in movement, action selection, and decision making. These processes are dependent on the coordinated output of the striatal direct and indirect pathways, which is dysregulated in neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's Disease, and forms of dystonia. However, the specific cells, circuits, and patterns of activity within the brain that contribute to disease manifestations, such as involuntary movements, or dyskinesias, are not well understood. To address this gap,

Neurophysiological tools are very helpful in characterizing various movement disorders, consequently guiding etiological research and therapy. Movement disorders recordings are currently underutilized in neurological practice in adults and could also be extended to the pediatric population. Surface polymyography (EMG) combined with accelerometry is commonly used for the analysis of many types of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly myoclonus, tremor, dystonia, and sometimes tics and chorea. To study myoclonus, techniques exploring cortical excitability, namely conventional EEG, EEG-jerk-locked-back-averaging (JLBA), somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP)
