Animal Models of Tremor: Relevance to Human Tremor Disorders [PDF]
Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2018 ackground: Tremor is the most common movement disorder; however, the pathophysiology of tremor remains elusive. While several neuropathological alterations in tremor disorders have been observed in post-mortem studies of human brains, a full ...

Early Head Tremor in Essential Tremor: A Case Series and Commentary [PDF]
Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2017 Background: Classically, the onset of head tremor in essential tremor (ET) patients follows that of hand tremor, such that there is a somatotopic spread of involved areas.

Highly Repeatable Fibrous Crack-Based Strain Sensor for Multichannel Continuous Tremor Monitoring in Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This study proposes a patch‐type tremor monitoring system based on high‐repeatable fibrous crack‐based strain sensor, capable of simultaneously measuring tremor in multiple locations such as thumb, index, and wrist. Through clinical trials involving Parkinson's disease and essential tremor patients, the proposed system demonstrates its potential as a ...

Unusual Wrist Tremor: Unilateral Isometric Tremor? [PDF]
Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2014 Background Tremors may be difficult to classify. Case Report An 83-year-old male presented with an unusual left wrist tremor. The tremor could be reproducibly elicited by making a fist or carrying a weighted object (e.g., a shopping bag, bottle of water) of approximately 1 lb or more, and it intensified with heavier weights.

Characteristics of Task-specific Tremor in String Instrument Players [PDF]
Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2014 Background: In recent studies primary bowing tremor has been described; however, tremor frequency has never been quantitatively assessed. In addition to describing phenomenological aspects of tremor we thus aimed at assessing tremor frequency.

Harmaline Tremor: Underlying Mechanisms in a Potential Animal Model of Essential Tremor [PDF]
Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2012 Background: Harmaline and harmine are tremorigenic β-carbolines that, on administration to experimental animals, induce an acute postural and kinetic tremor of axial and truncal musculature.

Multimodal imaging of essential tremor and dystonic tremor
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2022 Despite recent advances in tremor and dystonia classification, it remains difficult to discriminate essential tremor from dystonic tremor as they are similar in appearance and no biomarker exists.
