Article Excerpts about Tremors
Tremor is a rhythmic,
involuntary muscular contraction characterized by oscillations (to-and-fro
movements) of a part of the body. The most common of all involuntary
movements, tremor can affect various body parts such as the hands, head,
facial structures, vocal cords, trunk, and legs; most tremors, however,
occur in the hands. Tremor often accompanies neurological disorders
associated with aging. Although the disorder is not life-threatening, it
can be responsible for functional disability and social embarrassment.
