<strong>Post</strong>-<strong>stroke</strong> <strong>movement</strong> disorders<br />
Anathomy, type of <strong>stroke</strong> and lesion location<br />
• The basic function of the pathways of basal ganglia<br />
circuitry is to act as a cortical feedback loop in which<br />
signals from the neocortex are relayed through the<br />
striatum, pallidum and thalamus back to the cortex.<br />
• Interruption of direct or indirect pathways by focal lesion<br />
may lead to <strong>movement</strong> disorders<br />
• There are no specific sites of arterial territories for any<br />
given diskinesias<br />
• Lesions in different parts of the motor pathways may be<br />
responsible for the same <strong>movement</strong> disorders
