## Abstract __Background.__ Operative tremor can greatly influence the outcome of certain, precise, microsurgical operations. Reducing a surgeons tremor may not only improve the operative results but decrease the operative time. Previous studies have only measured uni or bi directional tremor and t

## Abstract This study investigated the effects of upper‐body and aerobic/lower‐body‐only (nonupper‐body) exercise on microsurgical hand tremor. Subjects were given a task of holding a microsurgical needle tip over a small target, with video‐microscopic documentation immediately before and 0, 2, 4,

We investigate physiological, essential and parkinsonian hand tremor measured by the acceleration of the streched hand. Methods from the theory of dynamical systems and from stochastics are used. It turns out that the physiological tremor can be described as a linear stochastic process, and that the

In this paper we have used the Wavelet Transform (WT) and the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) methods to analyze hand tremor movements in essential tremor (ET), in two different recording conditions (before and after the addition of wrist-cuff load). We have analyzed the time series comprised o

## Abstract The efficacy of beta blockers to control hand tremor remains equivocal. This study evaluated the effectiveness of Timolol^®^, as well as a postural orthotic, in reducing movement deviation during a laboratory exercise. Eleven volunteers completed three randomized trials involving admini
