tremor

[trem´or, tre´mor] an involuntary trembling of the body or limbs; it may have either a physical or a psychological cause. Early symptoms include trembling of the hands and nodding of the head. Tremors are often associated with parkinson's disease" >parkinson's disease, which affects nerve centers in the brain that control the muscles. They also occur in cerebral palsy, hyperthyroidism, and withdrawal" >withdrawal from narcotics or alcohol. They tend to develop as one of the results of aging, and are sometimes symptoms of temporary abnormal conditions such as insulin shock, or of poisoning, especially metallic poisoning. They sometimes appear with a high fever resulting from an infection. Tremors of psychological origin take many forms, some minor and some serious. Violent, uncontrollable trembling is often seen in certain phases of severe mental disorders. If there is no physiological cause, they may be a sign of general tension.action tremor rhythmic, oscillatory movements of the outstretched upper limb when voluntary movements are attempted, as when writing or lifting a cup; it may also affect the voice and other parts.

a tremor that occurs during the performance of precise voluntary movements, caused by disorders of the cerebellum or its connections. Synonym(s): action tremor, kinetic tremor, volitional tremor (2)

action tremor

A tremor that occurs during any type of movement of an affected body part.
Types
• Postural tremor—Occurs when maintaining a position against gravity—e.g., holding arms outstretched.
• Kinetic tremor—Appears during movement of a body part, such as moving the wrists up and down.
• Intention tremor—Present during a purposeful movement toward a target, such as touching a finger to one’s nose during a medical exam.
Task-specific tremor—Appears when performing highly skilled, goal-oriented tasks, such as handwriting or speaking.
Isometric tremor—Occurs during a voluntary muscle contraction that is not accompanied by any movement.
