Online Resource 1 Proband III:1 presenting at rest, in action performing intentional movements of the upper extremities, and during gait. In all conditions, but intensified in action, myoclonic jerks of all extremities can be observed. When walking, the proband shows a dystonic circumduction of the left leg in addition to myoclonus. (MPG 8510 kb)
Online Resource 2 Proband III:2 performing handwriting. No myoclonus or any dystonic symptom can be observed. In contrast, axial myoclonus and dystonia of the left leg occur while walking. Interestingly, the dystonic feature of the left leg is very similar to the aspect of her sister. (MPG 9144 kb)
