Abstract

We describe a patient with an unreported feature of posterior alien limb phenomenon characterized by position‐dependent levitation of the dominant arm exacerbated by tactile stimulation and associated with low‐amplitude tremor of the fingers of the right hand in addition to a sensation of strangeness in the arm, secondary to a left parietal stroke. © 2005 Movement Disorder Society
