Search for: [Abstract = "or types. The presence of tremor in patients with Huntington’s disease was observed in only 10% of patients similar to the control group. The occurrence of tremor in Tourette syndrome subjects was identified in about 20% of patients. The difference in presence of tremor between this group and controls wasn’t statistically significant likely due to limited number of patients. The observed tremor was mild, postural and similar to physiological tremor. In none of study groups a relationship between tremor intensity and intensity of movement disorders was observed. In conclusion, tremor co\-exists with the other movement disorders in different percentage of patients with particular diseases. It appears very frequent in focal and segmental dystonia, and relatively frequent in hereditary ataxias. In both of those movement disorders the tremor is mainly mild, postural and similar to essential tremor type. Objective instrumental assessment of tremor enables its detection in an additional over 10% of patients in whom hand tremor wasn’t observed in standard clinical assessment."]
