[The electromyographic analysis of trembling hyperkinesis in Wilson-Konovalov's hepatocerebral dystrophy].

Global electromyography was applied in the examination of 20 patients with Wilson-Konovalov's hepatocerebral dystrophy before and after stereotaxic operations. The origin of volley muscular activity is explained on the basis of segmental reflexes known in neurophysiology: indirect relief of alpha-motoneurons from the primary terminals of the spindle, autogenous, recurrent and reciprocal inhibition of alpha-motoneurons.
