尽管他对运动障碍的贡献有限，但西德纳姆的名字在历史上与该领域联系在一起，因为众所周知的同名西德纳姆舞蹈病。西德纳姆出生于 1624 年，是观察和经验主义的坚定拥护者，他回避当代的、通常很复杂的医学疾病理论。他很务实，更多地依赖临床经验而不是书本学习。他对流行病特别感兴趣，记录了疟疾、猩红热和麻疹的节律周期性，因此，他可以被视为非常早期的医学流行病学家。西德纳姆的最后一本出版物（1686 年）《Schedula Monitoria》包含了他现在著名的对小舞蹈病的描述，这种疾病后来与他的名字联系在一起，很大程度上是由于夏科使用了这个名称。西德纳姆是新鲜空气治愈作用的倡导者，也是放血疗法的积极拥护者，促使夏科在 1888 年惊呼：“让我们为西德纳姆关于出血、出血和更多出血的治疗讨论揭开面纱。这会让你毛骨悚然。那些英国小孩子是如何熬过这一切的呢？”作为 2000 年 6 月在巴塞罗那举行的运动障碍协会国际大会的一部分，该协会赞助了一场专门讨论运动障碍历史的展览。在 MDS 众多成员的帮助以及图书馆、私人收藏和实验室的借阅下，作者开发了一系列解释性面板，并附有照片、图表和原始文物，从多个角度追溯了运动障碍的早期历史。这些材料已改编为《运动障碍》杂志上的出版物，并以连续系列的形式呈现。*通讯作者：CG Goetz, 1725 W.

Although his contributions to movement disorders were limited, Sydenham’s name is historically linked to the field because of the well-known eponym, Sydenham’s chorea. Born in 1624, Sydenham was a strong advocate of observation and empiricism who shunned contemporary, often elaborate, theories on medical illness. He was practical and relied on bedside experience more than book learning. Particularly interested in epidemic illnesses, he documented the rhythmic periodicity of malaria, scarlatina, and measles, and, as such, he can be viewed as a very early medical epidemiologist. Sydenham’s last publication (1686) Schedula Monitoria included his now famous description of chorea minor, an entity that later was linked to his name largely due to the use of this designation by Charcot. An advocate of the healing properties of fresh air, Sydenham also was an active adherent to blood-letting therapy, prompting Charcot to exclaim in 1888:“Let us throw a veil over Sydenham’s therapeutic discussions on bleeding, bleeding and more bleeding. It makes your hair stand on end. How did those little English children survive all that?” As part of the International Congress of the Movement Disorder Society in Barcelona, June 2000, the society sponsored an exhibit devoted to History of Movement Disorders. With the help of numerous members of the MDS and loans from libraries, private collections, and laboratories, the authors developed a series of explanatory panels, accompanied by photographs, diagrams, and original artifacts that traced the early history of movement disorders from several perspectives. These materials have been adapted for publication in Movement Disorders and are presented in an ongoing series.* Correspondence to: CG Goetz, 1725 W. Harrison Street, Suite 755, Chicago, IL 60612.
