Analysis of tremulous movements after thalamotomy correlated to intrathalamic therapeutic lesions.
Residual tremulous movements after thalamotomy were examined using an accelerometer and EMG. Various types of tremor-provoking procedures were performed and the tremulous movements were classified according to the pattern of modificiation by these procedures. Four types of postoperative tremulous movements were noted, and a correlation was made to the intrathalamic therapeutic lesions.
