Özet
Background and aim: Orthostatic tremor is a high frequency tremor predominantly on calf muscles during standing. Brainstem is the most probable generator in the pathogenesis since it comprises bilaterally projecting centers regulating stance or tone. We aimed to investigate the functional role of brainstem through the evaluation of acoustic startle response in primary orthostatic tremor patients.
