Im Bereich der zentralen und peripheren Bewegungsstörungen haben die letzten Jahre einen weiteren bedeutsamen Erkenntniszuwachs gebracht. Das Gebiet hat sich inzwischen zu einer eigenständigen klinischen und wissenschaftlichen Subdisziplin entwickelt. Darüber hinaus sind zahlreiche weitere Einsatzgebiete für das Medikament Botulinumtoxin erschlossen worden. Auch die nunmehr bereits 6. und erneut umfangreich aktualisierte Auflage dieses Fachbuches ist weiterhin als Nachschlage- und Lesebuch für den praktisch tätigen Arzt gedacht, der Bewegungsstörungen vom spastischen und dystonen Typ untersuchen und behandeln will oder sich für andere Indikationen der Botulinumtoxin-Behandlung interessiert.
