"At the office visit, an AIMS score is done, an AIMS examination, and the following signs are found. The face, either has forehead frowning, which is mild, scoring of two. Lip smacking, which is also mild. And the tongue has movements inside and outside the mouth, but they're mild. And she has some dyskinetic movements of the fingers, which are moderate. That's what impairs her really, when she's typing. She has no other movements and her total AIMS scores, adding up those four areas, is nine. There are no signs of Parkinsonism, and remember, she's also on an anticholinergic. Since the overall severity score is the highest of the individual items, she would score a three, which is moderate severity."
