Involuntary Movements: Classification and Video Atlas de Hiroshi Shibasaki

Involuntary Movements: Classification and Video Atlas

Autor Hiroshi Shibasaki, Mark Hallett, Kailash P Bhatia, Stephen G. Reich, Bettina Balint
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 apr 2020
The neurologic subspecialty of Movement Disorders is complicated with many different entities, making the differential diagnosis difficult. One of the most important aspects of these different entities is their visual appearance. Still photographs do not give sufficient information, but videos like the ones included in this volume can provide dimension, context, and critical information. The variety of visual appearances is wide and seeing many videos is necessary to develop skill in making a diagnosis. Involuntary movements are even more complicated and the adage "seeing is believing" has never been more true. Despite this, few books include videos portraying involuntary movements.Involuntary Movements: Classification and Video Atlas pairs descriptions of the clinical features of various involuntary movements with video depictions of the involuntary movements in action. In a unique approach, this book considers two aspects of the diagnosis of involuntary movements: the phenomenology - as depicted in approximately 200 video supplements - and the etiology. The book also discusses the current consensus on the classification, pathophysiology, and treatment of each involuntary movement.

Recenzii

This book is multi-authored and written by experts in the field, which allows it to offer current, evidence-based approaches to classification, pathophysiology, and treatment of each movement disorder. Video illustrations are edited to make them more educational. I can see myself relying on this book during my outpatient practice as a neurologist.
The book should appeal to a very broad audience of subspecialties as well as levels of experience. In an era of remarkable advances in the biological sciences, there is still a vital need for astute and accurate neurological observation, and this is probably more so the case in the field of movement disorders than all others. Involuntary Movements: Classification and Video Atlas addresses this critical need.
Written by internationally recognized experts, this comprehensive volume consists of a detailed description of the various movement disorders accompanied by illustrative and well-edited videos. In addition to all the major hyperkinetic disorders […], the authors also cover functional (psychogenic) and sleep-related movement disorders as well as disorders of increased muscle stiffness or over-activity. The book and video atlas will be especially valuable to residents, fellows and other trainees interested in movement disorders, as well as general neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, and physiatrists in academia and in practice.
When spotting a person with uncontrollable, abnormal movements and postures, one's eyes are locked onto the subject, as if mesmerized, trying to interpret what is happening to that person. And so it is with looking at videos of a wide collection of involuntary movements collated in this atlas by and from the combined experiences of the authors. They share their skill and knowledge in helping the reader navigate the complexity of different patterns of involuntary movement following a classification system to lead the clinician to make the correct diagnosis. This Atlas has something to offer for everyone - novices just entering the specialty of movement disorders to the most experienced veteran.
This atlas is excellent, the awaited first encyclopedia of many involuntary movements provided by five world-wide movement disorders specialists based on their own experiences. It definitely helps young neurologists to know how to see involuntary movements and also helps senior neurologists or movement disorders specialists to improve their daily clinical practice.
