Search for: [Abstract = "Tremor is the symptom most frequently co\-existing with the other movement disorders. It dominates in essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease, but occurs also in many other movement disorders, e.g. focal dystonia and hereditary ataxias. The goal of this study was to establish the presence and characteristics \(frequency, kind, type\) of tremor co\-existing with movement disorders other than essential tremor or Parkinson’s disease. The study compared tremor accompanied focal dystonia, Huntington disease, Tourette syndrome and hereditary ataxias with tremor in healthy people. The additional objective was to assess the relationship between intensity of tremor and intensity of movement disorders. In addition the study examined the feasibility of objective methods assessing the presence and characteristics of tremor co\-existent with other movement disorders. The study was performed in healthy people and patients with confirmed movement disorders aged 18\-80 years, who expressed the formal consent. Patients with concomitant neurological disorders or other possible causes of tremor were excluded. The presence of tremor, tremor intensity and kind \(rest, postural, kinetic\), for both hands were assessed in clinical examination and using three methods of objective assessment \(accelerometer, graphic digitizing tablet and EMG\). This enabled obtaining other parameters to characterize tremor such"]
