The motor divisions of the nervous system are responsible for every movement a person makes. Any injury to the motor parts will have a direct consequence on one’s ability to perform meaningful motions. Motor disorders can cause a variety of weakness patterns; therefore, it is important for the reader to recognize that the disorders mentioned in this chapter are not restricted to a specific pattern and have tremendous overlap. In this chapter, readers will review patterns of weakness in specific motor disorders of the nervous system.
