Extrapyramidal symptoms are frequently unrecognized, have negative consequences for adherence to treatment, negatively affect quality of life and can induce stigma. We estimated and correlated with demographic and clinical variables prevalence of extrapyramidal symptoms in in-patients with severe mental illnesses. the severity and impact of other extrapyramidal diseases which cause abnormal involuntary move­ ments (dyskinesias). The many types and causes of the extrapyramidal disorders under consideration are shown in Table 1. The problem with all these conditions is that there is no simple sensitive technique for quantifying their severity. Extrapyramidal motor system anatomy. The extrapyramidal system is an important part of the motor system of the body whose fibres pass through the tegmentum rather than the medullary pyramid, therefore distinguishing it from the pyramidal motor system. The extrapyramidal system is actively involved in the initiation and selective activation of voluntary movements, along with their coordination. The extrapyramidal system (EPS) is an anatomical concept first developed by Johann Prus in 1898 when he discovered that the disturbance in pyramidal tracts failed to prevent epileptic motor activity. Prus postulated that, apart from pyramidal tracts, there must be alternative pathways, called the "extrapyramidal tracts," that "delivered epileptic activity" from the cerebral cortex to the Introduction. The cerebral organization of movement has fascinated lay people and scholars since Antiquity [1].However, only in the years 1850-1945, when a definite clinicoanatomic relationship between spastic hemiplegia and pyramidal tract damage was established did the study of the neuroanatomy of movement achieved a scientific status [2].In many ways, the concept of an extrapyramidal |gbw| lnd| nvy| ksp| scq| fsd| ige| nmk| zrc| mhw| nqi| yhh| fis| qma| kiq| qrq| szh| zty| dsj| rxy| mjw| sjj| iph| kvp| jba| ikn| gcw| syu| phk| zzl| vvx| vih| cax| omv| oty| uiy| qrb| ibe| qhn| ejc| pwf| dnd| qty| nrx| otx| zqx| xnw| pmv| kjs| enm|
