Segment 1. Before Treatment. Spontaneous, continuous, irregular, brief, involuntary movements restricted to the right lower limb, suggestive of myoclonic jerks, that worsen in amplitude and frequency with action. There is no rigidity or stimulus sensitivity. Gait is impaired by the involuntary movements. Segment 2. After Treatment – 1-Month Follow-up. Intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy improved symptoms. Involuntary movements are no longer observed. Gait is markedly improved.
