 '''Hyperkinesia''' is a medical condition characterized by an excess of movement. It is a symptom rather than a disease and can be caused by a variety of conditions, including [[Parkinson's disease]], [[Huntington's disease]], and certain types of [[drug toxicity]]. Hyperkinesia can manifest in a variety of ways, including [[tremors]], [[tics]], and [[chorea]].
 == Causes ==
 Hyperkinesia can be caused by a variety of conditions. These include:
 * [[Parkinson's disease]]: This is a degenerative disorder of the nervous system that primarily affects the motor system. Symptoms generally come on slowly over time and include shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking.
 * [[Huntington's disease]]: This is a genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It has a broad impact on a person's functional abilities and usually results in movement, thinking, and psychiatric disorders.
 * [[Drug toxicity]]: Certain drugs, particularly those used to treat psychiatric conditions, can cause hyperkinesia as a side effect.
 == Symptoms ==
 The symptoms of hyperkinesia can vary depending on the underlying cause. They can include:
 * [[Tremors]]: These are an involuntary, rhythmic muscle contraction leading to shaking movements in one or more parts of the body.
 * [[Tics]]: These are sudden, rapid, repetitive movements or sounds that people do repeatedly.
 * [[Chorea]]: This is characterized by brief, semi-directed, irregular movements that are not repetitive or rhythmic, but appear to flow from one muscle to the next.
 == Treatment ==
 Treatment for hyperkinesia typically involves addressing the underlying cause. This can involve medication, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgery.
 == See also ==
 * [[Hypokinesia]]
 * [[Dyskinesia]]
 * [[Akinesia]]
