The evaluation and management of movement disorders depends upon targeted, historical assessment and physical examination of the patient. Conditions, such as essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease, are common and can produce significant disability and disease burden on patients and their caregivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor are two well-known disorders commonly encountered by the general practitioner and neurologist, a considerable percentage of cases are misdiagnosed. In addition, other highly treatable disorders, such as drug-induced movement disorders, dystonia, and tics can be difficult to recognize which can pose an obstacle to initiating proper treatment. There have been considerable advances in our understanding of certain complex movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. We will also focus attention on non-motor aspects of Parkinson’s disease, which are increasingly being recognized as important determinants of quality of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe course will cover current concepts on pathophysiology of the various movement disorders, evidence-based evaluation and treatment recommendations, clinical practice guidelines as well as experience-based recommendations. Numerous patient videos will be shown throughout the presentations. Finally, the course will culminate with interactive discussion of video-based case examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho Should Attend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Care Physicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNurses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNurse Practitioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Care Practitioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePharmacists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecialty Physicians,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhysician Assistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychologists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovement Disorder Fellows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearning Objectives\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluate and diagnose movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, dystonia, tremor, myoclonus, tics, gait disturbances, chorea, tardive dyskinesia, and other disorders of\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe basal ganglia, in different settings (emergency, inpatient, and outpatient).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummarize treatment options and considerations in the management of movement disorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognize pitfalls in making an erroneous diagnosis in Parkinson’s disease, tremor or dystonia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe the pharmacology and side effects of commonly used medications for treatment of various movement disorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterpret the role of dopamine blockers in disease pathophysiology and management of tardive dyskinesia and drug-induced parkinsonism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrate physical examination techniques into practice to aid in the diagnosis of a movement disorder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummarize diagnostic criteria and genetic counseling principles necessary for evaluating patients with suspected hereditary chorea or ataxia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplain a clinical evaluation method for gait disorders as well as diagnostic “red flags” that aid in the diagnosis of atypical parkinsonism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify relevant components of the basic anatomy and pathophysiology of the basal ganglia as it pertains to movement disorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssess potential therapeutic uses of botulinum toxin injections for dystonia, hemifacial spasm, and related disorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscuss patient factors in the screening of candidates for deep brain stimulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify relevant issues regarding pre-operative evaluation and post-operative care for patients receiving deep brain stimulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamine physical examination techniques and history taking skills in making the diagnosis of a psychogenic movement disorder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe common non-motor aspects of Parkinson’s disease, including mood disorders and cognitive impairment, and summarize treatment options and best practices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42954624499810,"sku":"MED-AMB07035","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/9549\/6802\/files\/Harvard-Movement-Disorders-Current-Concepts-and-Practice-2023.jpg?v=1779381071","url":"https:\/\/meducourse.com\/products\/harvard-movement-disorders-current-concepts-and-practice-2023-videos-only","provider":"Meducourse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
