	Tremor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tremor is the rhythmic, oscillating shaking movement of the whole body or just a certain part of it, caused by problems of the neurons responsible from muscle action.
		Tremor may occur as an isolated symptom and usually of idiopathic (unknown) cause (essential tremor) or a part of the symptom constellation of another disorder (e.g.
		Tremors may occur at rest (Parkinson's disease), during voluntary movements (cerebellar lesions) or during excessive activity of muscles (essential tremor, hyperthyroidism).

		Tremor is a manifestation of several medical conditions and psychological states and is, thus, quite frequently seen in elderly patients.
		Many patients associate tremor with Parkinson's disease, and many of them have an incomplete understanding of that condition, in particular thinking that it is associated with mental deterioration, which it is not.
		Her tremor embarrasses her, and it is to this that she attributes her tendency to avoid going out as she had been used to.

	Essential Tremors - neurologychannel
		Essential tremor is caused by abnormalities in areas of the brain that control movement and does not occur as the result of disease (e.g., Parkinson's disease).
		Tremor is usually more severe during fine motor activities such as writing or threading a needle and does not occur during rest or sleep.
		Diagnosis of essential tremor is based on the observation of symptoms, a thorough medical history, physical examination, and neurological examination.

	Postgraduate Medicine: The many forms of tremor
		Intention tremor is a term used when the amplitude of the tremor increases as the affected body part (typically a finger) nears an intended target.
		This tremor is typically bilateral and symmetric when caused by a degenerative or toxic cerebellar disorder, but it is unilateral when related to a corresponding unilateral cerebellar condition, such as infarction or neoplasm.
		Although the exact cause of this tremor is a subject of debate, it often occurs in the presence of lesions (such as those caused by stroke) that involve cerebellar outflow pathways in the brain stem, cerebellum, and/or thalamus and possibly disrupt nigrostriatal pathways as well.

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 14, Ch. 179, Disorders Of Movement
		Tremors are classified according to their rate (slow, 3 to 5 Hz; rapid, 6 to 12 Hz), amplitude, rhythm, distribution, and time of occurrence--at rest (resting tremor) or during muscular activity (sustention or intention tremors).
		Sustention tremor, a coarse rotatory tremor of the proximal musculature, is most prominent when attempting to maintain a fixed posture or when weight bearing.
		Titubation, a gross tremor of the head and body, is a form of sustention tremor evident when assuming the upright position; it disappears with recumbency.

	Tremor
		Tremor is a rhythmic, involuntary muscular contraction characterized by oscillations (to-and-fro movements) of a part of the body.
		Postural tremors include physiological tremor, essential tremor, tremor with basal ganglia disease (also seen in patients with Parkinson's disease), cerebellar postural tremor, tremor with peripheral neuropathy, post-traumatic tremor, and alcoholic tremor.
		Some tremors respond to treatment of the underlying condition, for example in some cases of hysterical tremor treating the patient's underlying mental problem may cause the tremor to disappear.

		Tremor occurs because there are plaques—damaged areas—along the complex nerve pathways that are responsible for coordination of movements.
		People with MS who have tremors may also have associated symptoms such as difficulty in speaking (dysarthria) or difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia)—activities that are governed by many of the same pathways involved in coordinating movement.
		Tremor is considered by physicians and other health professionals to be one of the most difficult symptoms to treat.

		Tremor is a rhythmic oscillatory, non-purposeful movement of a body part produced by regular or sequential contractions of opposing muscles.
		Tremors are characterized by involuntary contractions of muscle groups producing oscillatory movements at one or more joint that can be quantified by the number of movements per second(expressed in Hertz).
		Tremor in the hands may appear as a "pill rolling" maneuver(opposing circular movements of the thumb and index finger).

	Tremor: Movement Disorders: Merck Manual Home Edition
		Tremors are classified according to how fast the shaking movements are (frequency); how wide (amplitude) they are, ranging from fine to coarse; how often the tremors occur; how severe they are; and whether they occur during rest, during movement, or at the end of a purposeful movement.
		The tremor usually stops when the arms or legs are at rest but becomes obvious when the limbs are outstretched and worsens when the limbs are held in uncomfortable positions.
		Sometimes the tremor affects the head, causing it to tremble and bob, and the vocal cords, causing the voice to shake.

	Essential tremor
		Tremor, or uncontrollable shaking, is a common symptom of neurological disorders such as Parkinson disease, head trauma, and stroke.
		While essential tremor may involve other parts of the body, the hands and head are most often affected.
		In more than half of the cases, essential tremor is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, which means that children of an affected individual will have a 50% chance of also developing the disorder.

	Essential tremor
		Essential tremor is a nerve disorder in which tremors (shakes) occur without an identifiable cause when a person is moving or trying to move.
		It appears that essential tremor has some genetic basis, not only because of the hereditary pattern observed in some families, but also because an identical twin (who shares the same genes) of a person with essential tremor is twice as likely as a fraternal twin (who has different genes) to have essential tremor.
		Essential tremor is a relatively benign condition, affecting movement or voice quality, but with no other effects.

	MDVU Resource Library - Essential Tremor - Clinical Diagnosis
		To properly distinguish between resting and action tremors, patients should be evaluated while supine and when seated with the arms fully supported.
		Other methods used to measure tremor include physical examination (refer to "Physical examination"), physiologic techniques, subjective clinical measures, objective functional performance tests, and assessment of the impact of tremor on patients' lives.
		Such tests may include measuring the amount of water spilled while pouring water from one cup to another or holding a cup for 1 minute; the 9-hole pegboard test; or maze tests, such as assessment of the number of times a patient's drawn line crosses the boundaries of a preprinted spiral.
