Surface Electromyography for the Diagnosis of Tremor Syndrome: A Study of 97 Patients by Kartika Gulati, Sanjay Pandey

“…Results: In our study, 28.8% (n = 28) of patients were of essential tremor (ET) syndrome. SEMG of ET syndrome patients showed synchronous bursts in 71.4% (n = 20), alternating bursts in 10.7% (n = 3), synchronous bursts with co-contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles in 10.7% (n = 3), and both synchronous and alternating bursts in 3.6% (n = 1) of patients. …”
