G. Ebersbach et al., UNILATERAL PAINFUL LEGS AND MOVING TOES SYNDROME WITH MOVING FINGERS - EVIDENCE FOR DISTINCT OSCILLATORS, Movement disorders, 13(6), 1998, pp. 965-968
This case report presents a patient with painful legs and moving toes
on the right side followed by the development of involuntary movements
in his right hand. The frequencies of the semirhythmic muscle activit
ies in both extremities were different. This finding excludes one cent
ral pacemaker for both and supports the notion that separate oscillato
rs in the segmental interneuron pool of different spinal areas may dri
ve the individual movements in this case.
