چکیده
854 September 2016, Vol. 106, No. 9 Disability from movement disorders is often seen as par for the course in the ageing process. It is the price paid by those who are lucky enough to grow old.

Surgical procedures performed for movement disorders are classically divided into two categories (Table 1).
