[Development and content validation of a questionnaire for functional movement disorders].

From shell shock tremors to TikTok tics, functional movement disorders have long been assumed to be motor expressions of emotional turmoil. However, psychodynamic explanations are increasingly complemented by neurophysiological findings, meaning that specialized physiotherapy is gaining in importance alongside psychotherapy. Still, there is no disease-specific outcome measure that adequately assesses patient-relevant aspects of this heterogeneous condition.

Background: Functional movement disorders (FMD) are associated with considerable morbidity and impairment of quality of life. Specialized treatment is scarce and data on efficacy of different therapies are limited.

Objective: To evaluate a multi-modal inpatient treatment program for patients with FMD.
