- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Presentation of the expected outcome:<br>We will observe the effects promoted by Transcutaneous electrical stimulation in the inhibition of acute tremor in Parkinson's disease through the electromyography;<br><br>;Presentation of the expected outcome:<br>We will observe if there is inhibition of the tremor by skin reflexes through acute transcutaneous electrical stimulation through the electromyography;;Presentation of the expected outcome:<br>We will see if there are electromyographic differences before and after stimulation of the acute superficial radial nerve;;Presentation of the expected outcome:<br>We hope to see if there are gains in writing provided by the inhibition of skin reflexes through the analysis of the patient's writing.
