This study aims to assess inter-rater agreement among clinicians with experience in the diagnosis of various hyperkinetic jerky movements, including psychogenic jerks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>60 patients with psychogenic jerks, myoclonus or tics were rated by international experts using a standardised survey resembling daily clinical practice. The survey included the following diagnostic steps: a short video offering a visual impression of the patients and their jerky movements, medical history, neurological examination (on video), additional investigations and the findings of a standardised psychiatric interview. The diagnosis and diagnostic certainty were scored after each step.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>After all clinical information was given, moderate inter-rater agreement was reached (\u03ba=0.56\u00b10.1) with absolute agreement (100%) of experts on the diagnosis in 12 (20%) patients and reasonable agreement (&gt;75%) in 43 (72%) patients.
