Movement lens

The movement lens is a component of the Diagnostic Lenses Framework ➚. This lens guides diagnostic formulation in patients presenting with psychiatric symptoms in whom clinically significant abnormal movement phenomenology provides a high-yield diagnostic discriminator. Movement patterns including parkinsonism, chorea, ataxia, and other abnormal involuntary movements may provide important clues to underlying neuropsychiatric conditions.

Within this section, movement phenomenology is organized according to categories with particular value in neuropsychiatric differential diagnosis, with each category linked to associated conditions known to present with psychiatric manifestations.
