## Abstract Essential palatal tremor (EPT) may not be a uniform or single entity. We present two patients who had some “voluntary control” over EPT, including entrainment. We review the English language literature on EPT to describe a wider clinical spectrum of this syndrome. © 2004 Movement Disord

## Abstract Palatal tremor, a rhythmic movement disorder of the soft palate, may be described as two separate entities: symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT) and essential palatal tremor (EPT). The symptomatic form is associated with brain stem or cerebellar disease, whereas the essential form has no kn
The physiology differs in the many forms of human tremor. Tremors may derive from mechanical oscillations, mechanical reflex oscillations, normal central oscillators, and pathologic central oscillators. Methods of studying tremor include accelerometry and electromyography (EMG). An excellent method
## Abstract Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a condition described as high‐frequency tremors predominantly in the legs and trunk, which are present not only in the standing position but also during isometric contraction of the limb muscles. This report is one of the largest OT series describing clinical
## Abstract Essential tremor (ET) still remains a clinical diagnosis. Nonetheless, it is misdiagnosed in 30 to 50% of cases. There are a number of areas of diagnostic uncertainty. One of these is isolated head tremor, on which published data are limited and at variance. We studied the prevalence of
Fast Fourier Transform analyses were performed on finger tremor movements at 0.2-Hz intervals from 0.4 to 40 Hz in 10 human subjects, under a flickering light condition of 4-15 Hz and an unstimulated control condition. Under the control condition, the power spectrum showed an essentially normal curv
