Abstract
Tensotremorography was used to record voluntary forces and to study the characteristics of the involuntary and voluntary components of isometrically recorded hand strength. The frequency ranges for changes in the spectral density of oscillations recorded here supported the existence of two suprasegmental systems associated with voluntary control and continuous regulation of force maintaining or holding a posture. Cross-correlation analysis of hand force maintained in conditions of visual feedback in normal conditions and in conditions of central disorders of the movement control system is presented.
