Stiff person syndrome is an important autoimmune mediated disorder to consider in patients with unexplained pain and muscular rigidity. We review the proposed diagnostic criteria, common clinical features, and important serologic and electrophysiological tests to aid in diagnosis as well as medical and rehabilitative therapeutic options.
