I'm looking for a SWEDO video

[problemsolver]

She shows the "piano playing" by the fingers when the child is doing a

Romberg stance...feet together, standing, arms out in front, eyes closed.

The fingers will move and/or the arm will pronate indicating involvement

of the basal ganglia.

 

I'd recommend you all watch it if we can find it online...

I didn't bookmark it...it may have had a link here or on another group.

If you have a link, please post it.

Thanks

Dave - Dr. Swedo does a very brief demonstration of choreiform movements here at 13:45. I don't know if this is what you are looking for...

Good glad it works - she does show choreiform movements but I want to make sure folks know that she does not show a romberg (though she recommends checking for choreiform movements this during a romberg test). If anyone wants to see a what a romberg test looks like try this:
