[Electromyographic characteristics of movement disorders in tumors of the temporal lobe of the brain].
The author studied the basic regularities of EMG changes in 26 patients with tumors of the temporal lobe, in 30 normals and in patients with tumors in the frontal lobes. The studies depicted an inhibition of the muscular electrogenesis in the form of a drop of the amplitude of muscular potentials at rest, in respirative and synergical changes of the muscular tone, in tests on extension and voluntary muscular contraction. There was also a mildly changed structure of the EMG and crude disorders of the reciprocal relations in muscular antagonists. The author stresses that there was no significant asymmetry of EMG parameters. An inhibition of muscular electrogenesis was more expressed in patients with malignant tumors and in the remote stages of the hypertensive syndrome.
