Conclusions

Within the limits of this study as carried out with the above technique, it would seem logical to draw the following conclusions:

  1. 1.

    Amplitude increases as muscle tension increases.

  2. 2.

    The rate and amplitude of the tremors are fairly constant throughout the day.

  3. 3.

    There is an inverse relationship between rate per second and the amplitude in millimeters.

  4. 4.

    The changes which took place involve the amplitude to a greater extent than the rate per second.
