Quantitative analysis of stance in ataxic myxoedema.
Postural abnormalities in a 66-year-old woman with ataxic myxoedema were recorded by stabilography during treatment. After replacement therapy, 3 Hz power in the sagittal plane was greater than before treatment; this peak shifted to a higher frequency and finally its ratio became normal. This is the first report of recovery of a 3 Hz body oscillation in ataxic myxoedema.
