In the last decades, there was a tremendous improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as Parkinson\u2019s Disease, Tic, Dystonia or tremor. These so-called \u00abmovement disorders\u00bb are now considered as an important subspeciality of neurology. Classically, they are divided in clinical syndromes with either an excess of movement (hyperkinetic) or a paucity of movements (hypokinetic), unrelated to a weakness. Therapies such as \u00abdeep brain stimulation\u00bb or botulinum toxin injections are nowadays standard options in hyperkinetic movement disorders. They all require a close collaboration between physicians, nurses and other health professionals. Hence, there is the need for an interprofessional and multidisciplinary forum to further improve patient care, education, and research.<\/p>\n<\/div>
