Abstract
Four subjects aged between 29 and 60 years were examined because of ax ial motor impairment after hypoxic brain injury. Magnetic resonance im aging revealed circumscribed lesions of the globus pallidus in every c ase. The association of freezing of the gait, speech disorders, axial bradykinesia, and postural disturbances, with no rigidity or tremor an d little or no distal akinesia, suggests a role of the globus pallidus in controlling axial motion.
