Sign in to saveAlso known as hyperkinesis
Hyperkinesia refers to an increase in muscular activity that can result in excessive abnormal movements, excessive normal movements, or a combination of both. Hyperkinesia is a state of excessive restlessness which is featured in a large variety of disorders that affect the ability to control motor movement, such as Huntington's disease. It is the opposite of hypokinesia, which refers to decreased bodily movement, as commonly manifested in Parkinson's disease.

La hipercinesia o hiperquinesia (de hiper-, el griego κίνησις kínēsis 'movimiento' y -ia) es el aumento de movimientos involuntarios del cuerpo o partes de él. Puede ser un tipo de disfunción del sistema extrapiramidal (centro regulador de los movimientos voluntarios y del tono muscular, que también participa en la producción de movimientos automáticos y asociados) que afecta el control de los movimientos voluntarios transformándose estos en un aumento de movimientos involuntarios. Su contraparte es la hipocinesia ( y ), caracterizados principalmente por la dificultad de iniciar movimientos voluntarios, donde los movimientos se tornan lentos y torpes.
