[Essential tremor and parkinsonian tremor long-term monitoring].
Instrumental methods of tremor investigation can be used in differential diagnosis between essential and parkinsonian tremor in uncertain cases. This paper describes the method of tremor quantification using long-term surface electro- myography registration of antagonistic forearm muscles. Examples of clinical application of the method are also given.
