ObjectiveTo disentangle the different forms of postural tremors in Parkinson disease (PD).MethodsIn this combined observational and intervention study, we measured resting and postural tremor characteristics in 73 patients with tremulous PD by using EMG of forearm muscles. Patients were measured both “off” medication (overnight withdrawal) and after dispersible levodopa-benserazide 200/50 mg. We performed an automated 2-step cluster analysis on 3 postural tremor characteristics: the frequency difference with resting tremor, the degree of tremor suppression after posturing, and the dopamine res

Abstract:
Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects human voluntary movements. Tremor is one of the most common symptoms of PD and is expressed as involuntary oscillation of the body. Tremors can be analysed in the frequency domain. Objective. The aim of the current study was to examine selected tremor parameters (frequency, root mean square, and approximated entropy) in order to quantify the characteristics of patients diagnosed with PD, compared to a healthy control group, and to compare the parameters by dividing the subjects according to UPDRS assessment.

The fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a relatively common cause of balance problems leading to gait disturbances in older males (40%) with the premutation. FXTAS is less common in females. We utilized the CATSYS system, a quantitative measure of movement, in 23 women with FXTAS (mean age 62.7; SD 12.3), 90 women with the premutation without FXTAS (mean age 52.9; SD 9.4), and 37 controls (mean age 56.53; SD 7.8). CATSYS distinguished differences between carriers with and without FXTAS in postural tremor, postural sway, hand coordination, and reaction time tasks. Differences

Abstract:
Object The object of this study was to investigate the impact of surgical treatment on tremor caused by posterior fossa tumors. Methods The authors performed a retrospective evaluation of 6 cases involving patients with tremors due to posterior fossa tumors. Patients who had been treated with neuroleptic medication or had a family history of movement disorders were excluded. All patients had postural or kinetic tremors. Tremor was mainly unilateral. The study group included 5 women and 1 man. Mean age at surgery was 59 years. Five patients underwent total or subtotal tumor resection, and 1 pat

Abstract:
The current study investigated the effect of 2 different types of unilateral resistance training on the postural tremor output of 19 neurologically healthy men age 70–80 yr. The strength- (n= 7) and coordination-training (n= 7) groups trained twice a week for 6 wk, performing dumbbell biceps curls, wrist flexions, and wrist extensions, while the control group (n= 5) maintained their normal activities. Changes in index-finger tremor (RMS amplitude, peak, and proportional power) and upper limb muscle coactivation were assessed during 4 postural conditions that were performed separately with the

Abstract:
Two frequency peaks of variable preponderance have been reported for human physiological finger tremor. The high-frequency peak (20–25 Hz, seen only in postural tremor) is generally attributed to mechanical resonance, whereas the lower frequency peak (8–12 Hz, seen in both postural and kinetic tremor) is usually attributed to synchronous central or reflexive neural drive. In this study, we determine whether mechanical resonance could generate both peaks. In relaxed subjects, an artificial finger tremor was evoked by random mechanical perturbations of the middle finger or random electrical musc

Abstract:
Abstract Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder, characterised by symptoms such as bilateral postural and kinetic tremor with prevalent manifestation in hands. The disease has chronic progressive development. In the case of continuous severe form it may resemble Parkinson’s disease (PD) and sometimes comorbidity with PD is possible. Although both diseases have different pathogenesis and treatment, some tremor characteristics for both are similar, thus causing difficulties and mistakes in diagnosing. The aim of the research was to determine ET characteristics within the Latvian pop

Abstract:
Essential tremor (ET) is the most common pathological tremor characterized by upper limb action—postural tremor (PT)/kinetic tremor (KT). There are no specific neuropathological or biochemical abnormalities in ET. The disability is consequent to amplitude of KT, which may remain mild without handicap or may become disabling. The most effective drugs for sustained tremor control are propranolol and primidone. Symptomatic drug treatment must be individualized depending on the circumstances that provoke the tremor-related disability. Broad guidelines for treatment are discussed in this review. Pa
