Abstract
ABSTRACT
We hypothesized that, Parkinson's disease is the most frequent presentation in the clinic followed by dystonia patients, patients with chorea, then patients with tremor and tics.
Both the incidence and prevalence of Parkinson disease increase with age, and the prevalence may be as high as 1 in 50 for patients over the age of 80 years. There was equal distribution among both sex, (57.58%) of patients were from rural area.
Moreover there is significant delayed diagnosis of involuntary movement disorders in rural areas.
