  • @dando77100 you're a medical student and you speak like that? Hopefully you don't plan on practicing medicine anywhere around me! :D (by the way, "a lot" is two words)

  • @aschaale good description. Thank you!

  • @tinhi1 Athetosis is a slow, writhing movement of the hands, neck, face, etc. It looks like the patient is trying to slowly twist their hands, etc. It is caused by a problem with the Globus pallidus of the basal ganglia. Chorea is a flicking movement of the hands, face, etc. that looks kind of like the patient is pretending to play the piano. It is caused by a problem with the putamen of the basal ganglia.

  • thanks
