Combined Resting-Postural Tremors

A clinical maneuver to increase tremor differentiation between Parkinson disease and essential tremor

“…We agree with Louis [1] on the fallacy inherent in many diagnostic schemes for essential tremor (ET) [2], and on possible similarities between ET and Parkinson’s disease (PD) [3,4]. ET might share with PD mild parkinsonian features (bradykinesia, rest tremor) [5]. While this further underscores the connection between ET and PD, it does increase diagnostic uncertainty.…”

Prevalence of unilateral tremor in autosomal dominant essential tremor

“…Moreover, we excluded individuals who showed a combination of resting, postural and kinetic tremor, even though they failed a previous dopaminergic challenge to minimize a possibility of including patients with tremor‐dominant, slowly progressive Parkinson's disease. This likely further underestimates the frequency of unilateral tremor in ET, because the presence of resting tremor has been previously reported as relatively common in patients with ET, especially in advanced stages of the disease 16. None of 17 kindreds containing individuals with unilateral PD had any evidence for the coexistence of both disorders in these families.…”

Clinical and Electromyographic Examinations of Patients with Essential Tremor

“…An essential tremor variant with predominantly rest and lower postural tremor has been reported. 14,34 We were not able to find a patient with a predominantly rest tremor. A prominent kinetic form with kinetic and intention features has also been reported.…”
