Disorders of movement in children often cause semiological and diagnostic difficulties to the paediatricians concerned. Based on personal experience, the author analyzes aspects which are particularly useful in overcoming these problems. Epidemiology, rules for history taking, indications as to the interpretation of clinical signs and use of complementary studies are considered.
