Video 1: 70-year-old patient with Parkinson's disease. There is camptocormia. There is a 4–6 Hz pill-rolling rest-tremor more on the right than the left. The tremor ceases initially at posture only to re-emerge after few seconds-a characteristic feature in Parkinson's disease. Severe bradykinesia is greater on the right than the left upper limb.
Video 2: 65-year-old patient with moderate generalised chorea due to genetically proven Huntington's disease. There is chorea in the face involving the mouth and the eyebrows. There is mild distal chorea of the arms and the legs. Chorea is evident also in the trunk and while walking.
Video 3: 60-year-old patient with cervical dystonia. There is tremulous torticollis to the left. There is decreased range of movement while trying to turn the head to the right. There is mild dystonic posturing of the hands evident at posture, more on the left than the right. By touching his chin with his hand (sensory geste or geste antagonistique) he manages to reduce the intensity of his symptoms for some minutes.
