A tremor is defined as an involuntary rhythmic oscillation of one or more body parts, mediated by alternating contractions of reciprocally acting muscles. Tremors typically affect the upper extremities but can also affect the head, chin, voice or legs. Although some tremors may be mild and cause little impact to quality of life, requiring no treatment, others may impair activities of daily living or occupation, which may lead to embarrassment and social withdrawal. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson gives an overview of the different types of tremor, looking at ways of distinguishing them and how each is usually managed.
