Table 1.

The clinical and demographic particulars of the two patients studied.

Age/Sex Handedness Diagnosis Medication Synkinesia
Patient 1 64/F Right Essential tremor since age 20 (hands) Trazodone 300 mg daily
Zoloft 200 mg daily
Reglan 40 mg daily
Voluntary movement of the right hand caused involuntary movement of the right foot. Voluntary movements of the feet and the left hand did not elicit synkinesia. Mental rehearsal of right hand movement did not produce concurrent right foot movement.
Patient 2 61/M Left Parkinson’s disease for 7 years Sinemet 25/100 mg tid Voluntary movements of either hand produced involuntary movements in the ipsilateral foot. This effect was most pronounced on the left side. Voluntary movements of the feet did not elicit feet-hand synkinesia. Mental rehearsal of the left hand movement did not produce hand-foot synkinesia
