Characteristics of Rest and Postural Tremors in Parkinson’s Disease: An Analysis of Motor Unit Firing Synchrony and Patterns

Characteristics of Rest and Postural Tremors in Parkinson’s Disease: An Analysis of Motor Unit Firing Synchrony and Patterns

The neural mechanisms responsible for resting and postural tremor in Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been the object of considerable study, much of it focusing on supraspinal sites. Here, we adopted an alternative approach that emphasizes motor unit (MU) firing synchrony and patterns of discharge. To...
