متن کاملBalance in essential tremor during tandem gait: is the first mis-step an important finding?
Essential tremor (ET) is the most commonly diagnosed movement disorder. ET may cause substantial loss of motor skills and balance with advanced age. We compared abnormalities in tandem gait with daily activity and Fahn-Tolosa-Marin Tremor Rating Scale (FTMTRS) scores in 90 ET patients. All patients performed a 15-step tandem three times. The mean of first mis-steps was accepted as the tandem in...
