Sommario/riassunto

This resource documents the significant progress made in the last decade regarding our understanding of motor control in sleep and the relationship between sleep and movement disorders. Divided into four major sections it covers sleep-related movements and the importance of recognising sleep-related movement disorders for diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, it covers new sleep-related disorders that have been classified and diagnosed.
