The role of attention in functional movement disorders
Objective: Identify where the attentional focus naturally lies in functional movement disorders and evaluate which abnormal attentional foci contribute to symptom generation. The ultimate aim…Can a smartphone accelerometer differentiate between functional and organic tremor ?
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine if a smartphone accelerometer can distinguish functional tremor from organic tremor. Background: Differentiating functional tremor from…Electrophysiological characteristics of task-specific and position-specific tremor: A variant of dystonic tremor?
Objective: To explore the role of the bedside electrophysiological tests and the characteristics of tremor in task-specific and position-specific tremor. Background: Task-specific and position-specific tremors…Subjective and objective complaints of (functional) tremor: An individual approach
Objective: To correlate subjective and objective symptom fluctuations in patients with a functional (FT) or organic tremor (OT). Furthermore, to study the contribution of factors…Psychogenic Palatal Tremor: A Case Report
Objective: Palatal tremor(PT) is an extremly rare movement disorder, defined by rhythmic movements of the soft palate. PT is divided into two forms: essential PT(EPT)…Quantitative characterisation of tremor in functional and organic tremor patients
Objective: To quantify tremor characteristics using inertial sensors in functional and organic tremor patients and to present the differences in tremor quantification between these two…Using wavelet coherence analysis to distinguish between tremor types
Objective: To distinguish between types of tremor using wavelet coherence analysis. Background: To discriminate between tremor types can be challenging in clinical practice. Standard electromyographic…
