Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease: Exploring the Relationship
Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2019Background There is longstanding controversy surrounding the possible link between essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Inconsistent and unreliable diagnostic criteria may in part account for some of the difficulties in defining the ...

Midbrain tremor: a tremor resistant to treatment [PDF]
Acta Neurologica Belgica, 2012 Midbrain tremor is a resting, postural, action and intentional tremor of the upper extremity. Partial response to pharmacological agents makes the treatment of this tremor difficult. We report, herein, three cases of patients with midbrain tremors involving their midbrain and thalamic area in ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.

‘Orthostatic tremor’ in familial‐essential tremor
Neurology, 1986We studied a family with essential tremor of the arms. Some members also had tremor of the trunk and legs on standing, but not on walking, sitting, or reclining. Tremor was evoked, regardless of body or limb position, by strong tonic contraction of the appropriate muscles; it was a type of static postural tremor.

This chapter discusses the large variety of diagnoses in childhood where tremor may be a prominent feature. Tremor is common in children. While not life-threatening, it sometimes causes significant impairment. In young children, tremor often indicates a mild static encephalopathy. In adolescents, prominent etiologies include enhanced physiologic tremor

Orthostatic tremor: An essential tremor variant?
Movement Disorders, 1988AbstractThree patients with a clear‐cut history of essential tremor of the upper limbs presented with the clinical features reported by Heilman as orthostatic tremor. Electromyographic findings included 6–8 Hz postural tremor in all four limbs. Highly synchronized 16 Hz rhythmic discharges were found in the legs upon standing.

Tremor is a rhythmic, involuntary muscular contraction with consistency of rate, amplitude and pattern. It is the most common of all involuntary movements. Several systems for classifying tremor exist with the most frequent system classed according to behavioral context, ie, resting, postural and action. Clinical recognition of tremor type is extremely

Tremor revisited: Treatment of PD tremor
Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2012Parkinsonian tremor is among the most emblematic medical signs and is one of the cardinal manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD). Its semiology has been extensively addressed by ancient and contemporary medical literature, but more attention has been dedicated to its medical treatment in the past than nowadays.

Orthostatic tremor: An association with essential tremor
Movement Disorders, 1991AbstractOrthostatic tremor is characterized by tremor of the trunk and legs while standing. Rapid frequency has been emphasized as an important criterion for the diagnosis of this tremor. We observed five patients who had the typical findings of orthostatic tremor but had a wide range of frequencies.

DBS of the PSA and the VIM in essential tremor
Neurology, 2018Objective To evaluate deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the posterior subthalamic area (PSA) in essential tremor (ET) and compare it to the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (VIM) in terms of stimulation efficacy, efficiency, and side effects ...
