Movement disorders and normal aging

P R Mahant et al. Neurol Clin. 2001 Aug.

Abstract

As the population continues to age, it has become increasingly important for clinicians to recognize the clinical characteristics of normal aging. Impaired mobility is one of the most frequent effects of normal aging, and this necessitates a specific understanding of the effects of normal aging on the motor system. This article reviews the physiological basis and clinical manifestations of normal aging as related to movement disorders. The impact of normal aging on major hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders is also discussed.
