Movement Disorder
The control of voluntary movement is affected by
the interaction of the pyramidal , cereballar &
extrapyramidal systems interconnecting with
each other as well as projecting to anterior
horn region or cranial nerve motor nuclei.
.
17-Oct-194
The extrapyramidal system consists of
paired subcortical masses or nuclei of gray matter,
the basal ganglia which consist of, caudate,
butamen, globus pallidus , subthalamic nuclei, and
substantia nigra.
The caudate nucleus & butamen are collectively
referred to as the (striatum)
17-Oct-196
Acetylcholine :
Synthesis by small striatal cells.
Greatest information in striatum.
Excitatory effect
Dopamine:
Synthesis by cell substantia nigra and nigral
projection in striatum .
Greatest concentration in substantia nigra
Inhibiting effects.
Note: these two transmitters normally are "in
balance" .
Imbalance –ACH depletion or dopamine excess
results in the movement disorder, chorea.
Dopamine depletion –results in the movement
disorder of Parkinsonism.
17-Oct-197
Gamma aminobutyric acid ( GABA)
synthesis in the striatum & globus pallidus.
It has inhibitory action
Deficiency is associated with
Huntington's chorea.
.
17-Oct-198
Negative features
1- Bradykinesia: a loss or slowness of voluntary
movement, this result in :
• reduced facial expression (mask- like).
• Reduced blinking
• Reduced adjustment of posture when seated
• When agitated , the patient will move swiftly- "
kineasia paradoxical".
.
17-Oct-199
2- Postural disturbance:
Flexion of limbs and trunk is associated with Failure
to make quick postural or " righting" adjustment to
correct balance, patient falls whilst turning or if
pushed
17-Oct-1910
Positive features:
1- Involuntary movement
Tremor
Chorea ( irregular , repetitive, jerky
movement)
Athetosis (irregular , repetitive, writhing
movement).
17-Oct-1911
Dystonia ( slow, sustained abnormal movement).
Ballismus ( explosive, violent movement)
Choreaothetosis : chorea & athetosis may merge
into one another.
17-Oct-1912
2- Rigidity:
stiffness felt by the examiner when passively
moving a limb.
This "resistance is present with the same
degree through out the full range of
movement.
affecting flexor & extensor muscle groups
equally, & is described as lead pipe rigidity.
17-Oct-1913
when tremor is super imposed upon rigidity it
produces " cogwheel" rigidity.
Note: In Parkinson's Disease both positive
features e.g. tremor, & negative features e.g.
bradykinesia occur.
Note: In Huntington's chorea positive features
,e.g. chorea, predominate.
17-Oct-1914
Parkinson's disease:
❖Described by James Parkinson( 1817) in " An
assay on the shaking palsy".
❖ Recognized as an extrapyramidal disorder by
Kenner Wilson 1912.
❖ Annual incidence: 20/ 100000.
17-Oct-1915
❖Prevalence 190/100000
❖ Sex incidence : M:F -3:2
❖ Age of onset : 50 years upward.
❖ Incidence peak in mid – 70s then decline.
❖ Familial incidence occur in 5%.
17-Oct-1918
Risk Factors:
Family history of PD
Head trauma (Concussion)
Exposure to chemicals and pesticides
17-Oct-1919
Features of Parkinson's Disease occur in many
disorders ( Akinetic Rigid syndromes) :
Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
Secondary Parkinsonism :
a-Drug induced ,e.g. haloperidol
b-Post encephalopathic
c- toxic e.g. CO
d- toxic (endogenous) e.g. Wilson's
Disease
17-Oct-1920
Multiple system atrophy (MSA).
Progressive supraneuclear palsy
Corticobasal degeneration
Diffuse Lewy’s bodies disease
Alzheimer's disease
17-Oct-1922
Pathology of idiopathic Parkinson's Disease:
The substantia nigra contains pigmented cells
( neuromelanin) which gives it a characteristics
black appearance.
These cells are lost in Parkinson's Disease& the
substantia nigra become pale.
17-Oct-1923
Remaining cells contain esonophilic inclusions in
the cytoplasm –Lewy’s bodies- although these are
not specific to Parkinson's Disease .
Lewy's bodies may be found in the cerebral cortex
especially when dementia is present (diffuse Lewy’s
body disease).
Minor changes are seen in other basal nuclei-
striatum & globus pallidus.
17-Oct-1924
Clinical features:
Initial symptoms are vague, the patient often\
complains of aches & pain .
1- coarse tremor:
➢ Coarse at a rate 4/ second , usually develops
early in the disease.
➢It begins unilaterally in the upper limbs &
eventually spread to all 4 limbs.
17-Oct-1925
➢The tremor is often " pill-rolling”, the thumb
➢moving rhythmically back & forward on the
palm.
➢It occurs at rest , improve with movement &
➢ disappears during sleep.
17-Oct-1926
2- Rigidity:
oPredominant in flexor muscles of the neck,
trunk, & limbs.
oResults in the typical " flexed posture".
17-Oct-1927
3- Bradykinesia :
Slowness or paucity of movement affects
facial muscles of expression ( mask- like
appearance) as well as muscles of
mastication, speech, voluntary swallowing &
muscles of the trunk & limbs.
Dysartheria , dysphagia & slow deliprate gait
with little associated movement ( arm
swinging).
17-Oct-1928
Notes:
Tremor, rigidity & bradykinesia deteriorate
simultaneously, affecting every aspect of the
patient's life :
hand writing reduced in size (micrographia),
the gait become shuffling & festinant (small,
rapid steps to " keep up with" with the center of
gravity) and the posture more flexed.
17-Oct-1929
Rising from a chair becomes laborious with
progressive difficulty in initiating lower limb
movement from a stationary position .
Eye movement may be affected with loss of
ocular convergence & upward gaze.
Excessive sweating & greasy skin (seborrhea )
can be trouble some.
17-Oct-1930
Depression, drug- induced confusional state &
dementia occur in 30% of patients.
Occasionally autonomic features occur –
postural hypotension.
Note: Post-encephalictic Parkinson's disease
( encephalitis lethargica) now rarely encountered, is
characterize by an earlier age of onset & oculogyric
crisis ( acute ocular deviation) .
17-Oct-1931
•Cognitive dysfunction.
•Psychosis.
•Mood disorders (depression, anxiety, apathy/abulia).
•Sleep disturbances.
•Fatigue.
•Autonomic dysfunction (urinary urgency/frequency,
constipation, orthostasis, erectile dysfunction).
•Olfactory dysfunction.
•Pain and sensory disturbances.
•Dermatologic findings (seborrhea).
17-Oct-1932
Features of Parkinson disease
1-Bradykinesia2-Rigidity
3-Resting tremor
4-Postural Instability
17-Oct-1933
Diagnosis:
When tremor, rigidity & bradykinesia
co-exist ,distinguish Parkinson's
disease from secondary Parkinsonism by the
absence of relevant drug history.
Tremor should be distinguished from :
senile tremor, essential tremor & metabolic
tremor; which are all absent at rest & more
pronounce on voluntary movement.
.
17-Oct-1935
Parkinson disease medical treatment (motor symptoms)
Levodopa
Dopamine Agonists
Monoamine Oxidase B inhibitors (e.g. Selegiline)
Anticholinergic Agents (e.g. Benztropine, Trihexyphenidyl).
Amantidine.
Catechol-O-Methyl transferase inhibitors (COMT) (e.g.
Entacapone).
17-Oct-1937
Levodopa or Dopamine Agonists shouldn’t be stopped
abruptly
Risk of Parkinsonism Hyperpyrexia Syndrome
17-Oct-1938
Exogenous dopa:
-Given as;
1-levodopa or
2- levodopa + decarboxylase inhibitor, which
prevents peripheral brake down of levadopa in
the liver allowing a higher concentration of dopa
to reach the blood-brain barrier; also the
peripheral side effects of levodopa ( nausea,
vomiting, hypotension) are diminished.
17-Oct-1939
Central side effects:
confusion, depression,
dyskinetic movements and following
long- treatment- " on /off" phenomenon.
Controlled –release or long acting preparations
produce constant plasma levels & a more even
clinical response.
17-Oct-1940
Exogenous dopa improve bradykinesia, rigidity,
& to a lesser extent, tremor, but in 20% the
response is poor.
The "good" responders often develop central side
effects later – especially the
" on/off " phenomenon.
17-Oct-1941
Dopamine Agonist:
When levodopa responsiveness is low , dopamine
agonist are used.
-Bromorciptine .
17-Oct-1942
-Apomorphine
given by continuous infusion or intermittent
injection & is affected in shortening periods of
prolong immobility (freezing).
Dopamine agonist may produce postural
hypotension & confusion.
17-Oct-1943
Selegililine:
The enzymes monoxidase (MAO) A & B play a key
role in the break down of Dopamine.
This drug is an MAO –B inhibitor, its usage
results in increased dopamine levels.
17-Oct-1945
Surgical treatent of parkinson disease:
•1-Deep brain stimulation (STN, Gpi).
•2-Ablative surgery: (Thalamotomy, Pallidotomy &
Subthalamotomy).
17-Oct-1946
Advances in drug treatment in recent years have
reduced the need for stereotactic surgery, but in
patients with intractable tremor this is still of
benefit, a steriostactic lesion is made in the
globus pallidus or ventrolateral nucleus of the
thalamus ( contralateral to the tremor).
17-Oct-1947
Essential tremor
•1-Worsens with age and may eventually significantly interfere with
normal activities.
•4-10 Hz
•2-50% AD, LINGO1 gene.
•3-Mild parkinsonian features (i.e., rest tremor, cog wheeling, and
breakdown in rapid alternating movements) may also be present.
•Improves with alcohol intake.
17-Oct-1950
Physiologic tremor
▪1-Normally present in healthy individuals.
▪8-12 Hz
▪2-Factors Enhanced physiological tremor:
▪
Stress, fatigue, emotions, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, thyrotoxicosis,
▪
pheochromocytoma, drug withdrawal, and alcohol intoxication and Beta
receptor agonists.
17-Oct-1952
➢Rapid unpredictable nonrhythmic
involuntary contractions affecting mostly distal limbs, trunk,
neck and face which rapidly flip from region to region in an
irregular pattern.
➢DD ,Athetosis and ballism are sometimes confused with
chorea.
17-Oct-1953
Ballismus:
✓Movement of the proximal limb muscles with
a larger amplitudes and more rotatory or flinging
quality than chorea.
✓Hemiballismus
Athetosis:
✓Slow flowing writhing involuntary movement
17-Oct-1954
Pathophysiology Of Chorea
✓Loss of inhibition in the indirect pathway>> excessive
dopaminergic activity.
✓Putamen, Globus pallidus and subthalamic nuclei and
caudate in Huntington disease.
17-Oct-1955
Chorea:
❑Uninvoluntary, irregular, jerking movement
❑affecting limb & axial muscle groups.
❑These movements are suppressed with
difficulty and are incorporated into voluntary
gestures resulting in a "semi purposeful“
appearance e.g. crossing & uncrossing of legs.
17-Oct-1957
Causes :
❖ Hereditary)(Huntington's disease), benign chorea.
❖
