Is MS Intention Tremor Amplitude Related to Changed Peripheral Reflexes?
Intention tremor is related to lesions in the cerebellum or connected pathways. Intention tremor amplitude decreased after peripheral arm cooling in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), likely caused by a reduction of muscle spindle afferent inflow, while amplitude increased when muscle spindles were artificially stimulated by tendon vibration. This study investigated the contribution of peri...
متن کاملTremor amplitude is logarithmically related to 4- and 5-point tremor rating scales.
Tremor rating scales (TRSs) are used commonly in the clinical assessment of tremor, but the relationship of a TRS to actual tremor amplitude has never been quantified. Consequently, the resolution of these scales is unknown, and the clinical significance of a 1-point change in TRS is uncertain. We therefore sought to determine the change in tremor amplitude that corresponds to a 1-point change ...
متن کاملEffects of peripheral cooling on intention tremor in multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of peripheral sustained cooling on intention tremor in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS induced upper limb intention tremor affects many functional activities and is extremely difficult to treat.Materials/ METHODS Deep (18 degrees C) and moderate (25 degrees C) cooling interventions were applied for 15 minutes to 23 and 11 tremor arms of patients w...
متن کاملIs tremor related to celiac disease?
Neurological features in celiac disease (CD) are not rare (5%-36%), but tremor is scarcely described. Subjects with CD and healthy controls completed an online survey using WHIGET tremor rating scale. One thousand five hundred and twelve subjects completed the survey, finally 674 CD patients and 290 healthy subjects were included. A higher prevalence of tremor in CD patients was observed in com...
