✦ Synopsis
We present several patients with Huntington's disease (HD) who developed an unusual movement disorder characterized by involuntary arm elevation. To our knowledge, this type of posture has not been previously described in HD. It is not certain whether the posture represented dystonia or a problem with arm positioning in space, that is, arm levitation. The phenomenology could have multiple etiologies.
