Dyskinesia refers to a category of
movement disorders that are characterized by involuntary muscle movements, including movements similar to
tics or
chorea and diminished voluntary movements. Dyskinesia can be anything from a slight tremor of the hands to an uncontrollable movement of the upper body or lower extremities. Discoordination can also occur internally especially with the respiratory muscles and it often goes unrecognized. Dyskinesia is a
symptom of several
medical disorders that are distinguished by their underlying cause.
