Unilateral Upper Limb Asterixis Related to Primary Motor Cortex Infarction Stroke 26:326-328, Nighoghossian,N.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract These findings indicate that asterixis was not related to a failure in the processing of proprioceptive input controlling the regulation of postural tone of the distal upper limbs because SEPs were normal.The involvement of primary motor cortex might suggest that asterixis results from an impairment of a centrally generated motor-command signal controlling the postural tone of the distal upper limb.
