## Abstract We studied the various physiological aspects of oropharyngeal swallowing in Parkinson's disease (PD). Fiftyβeight patients with PD were investigated by clinical and electrophysiological methods that measured the oropharyngeal phase of swallowing. All patients except 1 had mild to modera
Patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) suffer from involuntary limb movements during the day. We studied these leg movements in 18 idiopathic (n = 8) and uremic (n = 10) patients at rest. Electromyographically measured muscle contractions were preceded by sensory discomfort in all patients. The
