Abstract

Employing the techniques of electrogoniometry and force measurement, the authors devised a system that provides rapid, reliable, and objective evaluation of a motor task. Utilizing a high-speed minicomputer, various parameters of a motor task were recorded, analyzed, and displayed. This system was used to monitor recovery of motor function after surgery, during a drug regimen, and during electrical stimulation of specific sites in the central nervous system.

Controversies and challenges in defining the etiology and pathophysiology of restless legs syndrome.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) can occur as a primary disorder, with no apparent cause other than a possible genetic predisposition, or as a secondary condition, most commonly related to iron deficiency, pregnancy, or end-stage renal disease. Recent studies have identified 2 different phenotypes of RLS based on age at onset of symptoms. Persons whose RLS symptoms start at an earlier age (<45 years) are more likely to have a family history of RLS and tend to have a more slowly progressive development of the disorder compared with individuals who have later onset of symptoms. In the past, our ability to determine either prevalence or population factors associated with increased occurrence of RLS has been limited. However, 4 different diagnostic criteria have been established. Familiarity with diagnostic criteria and clinical characteristics are essential for diagnosis and appropriate treatment, if required.
