AB As  discussed  in  the  previous  chapter,  a  common  schema  in  movement  disorders  is  to  classify  movement  problems  broadly  as  hyperkinetic  versus  hypokinetic.  The  majority  of  movement  disorder  referrals  from  primary  physicians  to  child  neurologists  are  for  hyperkinetic  disorders,  and  of  these,  the  most  common  are  tics,  stereotypies,  and  tremor.1  Functional  neurologic  disorders  are  prevalent  and  may  mimic  tics  or  tremor.  This  chapter  addresses  the  key  points  of  the  clinical  approach  to  evaluation  and  management  of  these  common  presentations  and  then  covers,  briefly,  less  common  movements  of  dystonia  and  chorea.
