Title
Subgroup analysis of PD tremor with loading: Action tremor as a combination of classical rest and physiological tremor
Type Article
Keywords
Tremor, Parkinson's disease, Action tremor, Rest tremor
Abstract
In Parkinson disease, tremor is a challenging symptom to manage, partly due to inadequate characterization. The current (classic) model of tremor is characterized by a resting tremor with a single strong peak in 3.5–6.5 Hz range. The presence of action tremor, including postural, isometric, and kinetic tremors, has been disputed in the literature but not comprehensively evaluated. Analysis of hand tremor in action compared to rest, and possible subgrouping of tremor trends, may improve characterization. Methods
