| description | Abstract Background This study aims to detect pattern and frequency and risk factors of movement disorders in Assiut university hospital. Methods This is a hospital-based study, all patients with involuntary movements, attending Assiut university hospital; inpatient and outpatient clinics. Results Most of cases were males (58.5%), within the age group between 20 and 60 years (59.2%) and illiterate (62.8%). In our study parkinsonism was the most common movement disorder (32.1%), followed by chorea (22.5%), then dystonia (17.8%). Conclusions Movement disorders are common cause of disability of patients in our study, with high frequency attending our hospital inpatient department and outpatient clinic, highlighting the need for future specialized movement disorder clinic in our hospital, promoting health care and management of patients. With the need of further studies regarding management of such patients. |
