## Abstract Leg tremor during standing is a rare feature in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Tremor during standing usually has a low frequency (range, 4β6 Hz), similar to PD rest tremor frequency, and is improved by levodopa. We describe three cases of fast orthostatic tremor (FoT) of legs and

Three patients with a clear-cut history of essential tremor of the upper limbs presented with the clinical features reported by Heilman as orthostatic tremor. Electromyographic findings included 6-8 Hz postural tremor in all four limbs. Highly synchronized 16 Hz rhythmic discharges were found in the
Orthostatic tremor is characterized by tremor of the trunk and legs while standing. Rapid frequency has been emphasized as an important criterion for the diagnosis of this tremor. We observed five patients who had the typical findings of orthostatic tremor but had a wide range of frequencies. All fi
## Abstract Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a clinically defined syndrome of leg tremor while standing. Controversy surrounds whether OT is a distinct syndrome or is an essential tremor (ET) variant. We report two patients with OT. Electrophysiological testing included polymyography, accelerometry, nerv
We read with interest the article by Sharott and colleagues 1 in which they suggest that "the core abnormality in primary orthostatic tremor may be an exaggerated sense of unsteadiness when standing still." This original hypothesis is based on the proposition that "a physiological system is involved
## Abstract Patients with orthostatic tremor (OT) can be classified as having βprimary OT,β with or without postural arm tremor but no other abnormal neurological features, or βOT plus.β We describe a patient with OT, with postural tremor of the arms and restless legs syndrome (RLS), who developed
