Myoclonus: An Electrophysiological Diagnosis.
Shabbir Hussain I MerchantFelipe Vial-UndurragaGiorgio LeodoriJay A van GerpenMark HallettPublished in: Movement disorders clinical practice (2020)
Clinical neurophysiology is an underutilized tool in the diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders. Various jerk-like movements have distinguishing physiologic characteristics, differentiated in the milliseconds range, which is beyond human capacity. We argue that the categorization of movement disorders as myoclonus can be refined based on objective physiology that can have important prognostic and therapeutic implications.
