Recognition and Assessment

DIMDs encompass a range of conditions, each with distinct clinical presentations and underlying pathophysiology. Explore the characteristics that distinguish different DIMDs and key considerations for their recognition, assessment, and differential diagnosis.
WHY IT MATTERS
When it comes to DIMDs, one size does not fit all. Because each movement disorder has a distinct presentation and pathophysiology, treatment approaches may differ. Recognizing and differentiating among DIMDs is an important step toward identifying an appropriate treatment approach for each DIMD.
