Search for: [Abstract = "as tremor frequency, type \(physiological tremor or essential tremor\) and synchronization of agonistic and antagonistic muscles. The study was performed in 123 patients with focal and segmental dystonia, 28 patients with Huntington disease, 43 patients with hereditary ataxias, 26 patients with Tourette syndrome and 51 healthy controls. The presence of tremor was identified using objective assessment \(accelerometer\) in 10% of control group. Most often the tremor was mild postural, similar to physiological tremor with mean frequency about 9 Hz. The presence of tremor in dystonic patients was identified in as many as 50% by clinical assessment and about 70% in objective assessment. Most often it was postural and kinetic tremor with mean frequency about 7 Hz similar to essential tremor type. There were no differences between tremor frequency and intensity in all forms of dystonia. The presence of tremor in hereditary ataxias was observed in 40% of patients in neurological examination and in about 50% of patients in objective assessment \(accelerometer\). There was a significant difference between presence of tremor between patients with hereditary ataxias and control group \(p=0.001\). Mild postural tremor with frequency about 7 Hz predominated in patients with hereditary ataxias. In this group the similar proportion of patients \(about 45%\) suffered from essential tremor and other trem"]
