Abstract
In 27 patients with Wilsons disease analysis of movement disorder was perfo rmed by means of the V-Scope system. The results of the standard examinatio n procedure which included recording of tremor during rest and tension, poi nting movements, finger tapping with index finger and drawing a spiral were quantitatively compared to a control group. No differences were found betw een the different neurological forms. There were also no differences betwee n non-neurological forms and the control group. Hence the method used can r epresent the course of the disease during treatment.
