“…Many patients with motor EPS are unaware of having any abnormal movements; therefore it is important for clinicians to be constantly alert for EPS (Egan et al, 1997;Germer et al, 1984;Herz et al, 2000;Larsen & Gerlech, 1996). Routine monitoring of TD is essential to track symptomatic changes and response to medications (Ahrens et al, 1988;American Psychiatric Association, 1999;Awad et al, 1997;Boyd & Nihart, 1998;Egan et al;Germer et al;Kaplan & Sadock, 1998;Lane, Glazer, Hansen, Berman, & Kramer, 1985;Munetz & Benjamin, 1988Munetz & Schultz, 1986). Adding a formal movement examination, such as the AIMS, to routine clinical observation provides a way to monitor the progress of treatment and increases the likelihood of detecting TD as it emerges (Germer et al;Kane et al, 1992;Munetz & Benjamin, 1990).…”
