Movement disorders disrupt motor function not by causing weakness but by producing either abnormal, involuntary, unwanted movements, or by curtailing the amount of normal free flowing movement. We observed all patients admitted in ICU and video recorded 30 patients with new onset abnormal movements.In our study most common involuntary movement is tremor followed by myoclonus and seizure. Most common cause of admission associated with involuntary movement is OPC poisoning followed by fever in our study. In our study post hypoxic myoclonus was associated with poor prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
