Clinical Information

• Blinking

  brief closing of the eyelids by involuntary normal periodic closing, as a protective measure, or by voluntary action.

• Athetosis

  a dyskinesia characterized by an inability to maintain the fingers, toes, tongue, or other body parts in a stable position, resulting in continuous slow, sinusoidal, and flowing involuntary movements. this condition is frequently accompanied by chorea, where it is referred to as choreoathetosis. athetosis may occur as a manifestation of basal ganglia diseases or drug toxicity. (from adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p76)

• Synkinesis

  an involuntary movement accompanying a volitional movement. it often refers to facial movements that accompany facial paralysis.

• Facial Paralysis

  severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. this condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. damage to cns motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. facial nerve diseases generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. neuromuscular junction diseases and muscular diseases may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.

• Bradykinesia

  slow movement.

• Bradykinesia Evaluation|BRADYKIN|Bradykinesia|Bradykinesia

  an evaluation of bradykinesia.

• ESRS-A - Bradykinesia/Hypokinesia|ESRSA1-Bradykinesia/Hypokinesia|ESRSA1-Bradykinesia/Hypokinesia|ESRSA110

  extrapyramidal symptom rating scale-abbreviated (esrs-a) parkinsonism: bradykinesia or hypokinesia.

• MDS-UPDRS - Body Bradykinesia|UPD2-Body Bradykinesia|UPD2-Body Bradykinesia|UPD2314

  the movement disorder society version of the unified parkinson's disease rating scale (mds-updrs) global spontaneity of movement (body bradykinesia).

• UHDRS 1999 Version - Bradykinesia: Body|UHDR1-Bradykinesia: Body|UHDR1-Bradykinesia: Body|UHDR110

  unified huntington's disease rating scale 1999 version (uhdrs 1999 version) bradykinesia-body.

• UPDRS - Motor Examination: Body Bradykinesia and Hypokinesia|UPD1-Motor:Bradykinesia and Hypokinesia|UPD1-Motor:Bradykinesia and Hypokinesia|UPD131

  unified parkinson's disease rating scale (updrs) motor examination; body bradykinesia and hypokinesia (combining slowness, hesitancy, decreased arm swing, small amplitude, and poverty of movement in general.).

• Athetosis

  slow, involuntary, and nonpurposeful writhing movements that usually affect the upper limbs.

• Choreoathetosis|Choreathetosis

  abnormal movement characterized by involuntary jerking and writhing affecting the limbs, trunk, and facial muscles.

• Infantile Convulsions and Paroxysmal Choreoathetosis, Familial|ICCA|ICCA Syndrome|PKD/IC|Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia with Infantile Convulsions

  an autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by mutation(s) in the prrt2 gene, encoding proline-rich transmembrane protein 2. it is characterized by epileptic seizures and paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis. it shares features with episodic kinesigenic dyskinesia-1, which is an allelic disorder.

Convert R25.8 to ICD-9-CM

• ICD-9-CM Code: 781.0 - Abn involun movement NEC
  Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education

Movement Disorders

Movement disorders are neurologic conditions that cause problems with movement, such as:

• Increased movement that can be voluntary (intentional) or involuntary (unintended)
• Decreased or slow voluntary movement

There are many different movement disorders. Some of the more common types include:

• Ataxia, the loss of muscle coordination
• Dystonia, in which involuntary contractions of your muscles cause twisting and repetitive movements. The movements can be painful.
• Huntington's disease, an inherited disease that causes nerve cells in certain parts of the brain to waste away. This includes the nerve cells that help to control voluntary movement.
• Parkinson's disease, which is disorder that slowly gets worse over time. It causes tremors, slowness of movement, and trouble walking.
• Tourette syndrome, a condition which causes people to make sudden twitches, movements, or sounds (tics)
• Tremor and essential tremor, which cause involuntary trembling or shaking movements. The movements may be in one or more parts of your body.

Causes of movement disorders include:

• Genetics
• Infections
• Medicines
• Damage to the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves
• Metabolic disorders
• Stroke and vascular diseases
• Toxins

Treatment varies by disorder. Medicines can cure some disorders. Others get better when an underlying disease is treated. Often, however, there is no cure. In that case, the goal of treatment is to improve symptoms and relieve pain.
