Posterior tibial and sural nerve somatosensory evoked potentials in dystrophia myotonica.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Fatigue is a common non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease patients. The reasons for its perception are not completely understood. One suggested possibility might be that perceived fatigue is related with abnormal interpretation of somatic symptoms. It has been described that somatic markers misinterpretat...
