Definitions
Dystonia
Dystonia is a movement disorder in which muscles are contracted
and contorted.
Symptoms may co-occur with dyskinesia.
Symptoms may result in the patient’s assuming abnormal postures
or positions.
Dystonia may be present at rest and/or during action.
Dystonia is usually first seen during action.
In more advanced cases, symptoms may appear both at rest
and during action.

Definitions
Dyskinesia
Dystonia is a movement disorder in which muscles are contracted
and contorted.
Dyskinesia is characterized by movements that are repetitive,
purposeless, and involuntary.
The patient may have dyskinetic movements of the arms, legs,
and trunk, as well as a variety of different movements of the face.
Patients are not necessarily aware of these movements.

Akathisia
Akathisia is subjective feelings of inner restlessness with the urge
to move, and/or objective movements such as:
Restless movement of one extremity
Fidgeting
Changing position
The inability to sit down for long periods
Pacing back and forth or marching in place
Terminology used by the patient to describe these feelings may
often be confusing and even idiosyncratic.

Definitions
Akathisia
Terms like “restlessness” must be distinguished from anxiety,
insomnia, or other similar symptoms.
Subjective akathisia should assess severity from the patient
over the period of the past 7 days.
Akathisia may look very similar to other movement types,
especially tremors and dyskinesias.
Akathisias may occur with other symptoms, but they tend to be
under greater voluntary control.
Akathisia should be related to the underlying urge to move
(However, patient may occasionally not be fully aware of a
compulsion to move).
