Neurophysiological methods in examination of tremor
- II. neurologická klinika LF UK a UNB, Bratislava
Tremor is the most common movement disorder and it can be a symptom of many pathological conditions. According to its etiology, we choose adequate therapy, so accurate and early diagnosis is essential. In addition to a detailed medical history and precise clinical examination, neurophysiological methods - especially electromyography, but also electroencephalography or evoked potentials - provide valuable information. Considering the focus of the journal, we will deal mainly with the use of neurophysiology in daily clinical practice.
Keywords: tremor, neurophysiology, polymyography, electromyography, diagnosis.
