Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects human voluntary movements. Tremor is one of the most common symptoms of PD and is expressed as involuntary oscillation of the body. Tremors can be analysed in the frequency domain. Objective. The aim of the current study was to examine selected tremor parameters (frequency, root mean square, and approximated entropy) in order to quantify the characteristics of patients diagnosed with PD, compared to a healthy control group, and to compare the parameters by dividing the subjects according to UPDRS assessment.

The tremor may be slightly asymmetrical. Other areas of the body that may be affected are head and neck (most frequently), the voice, and legs. Head tremor without limb tremor is accepted as essential tremor, although this definition remains controversial. Essential tremor is a progressive disease and manifests at any age.

Abstract:
Tremor is broadly classified into physiological tremor and pathological tremor. Depending on the clinical features and the predominant pattern of production, tremor is classified into resting tremor, postural tremor, and kinetic tremor. Tremor is associated with rhythmic contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles, either alternately or simultaneously. Tremor involving muscles in the resting condition is called resting tremor and is seen most commonly in Parkinson disease. Tremor involving muscles during isometric contraction is called postural tremor, and it is most commonly seen in essential tremor. Tremor involving muscles during intended movements (isotonic contraction) is called kinetic tremor, and it is most commonly seen in a lesion of the cerebellar efferent pathway.

Abstract:
Abstract Essential tremor can be a disabling condition that manifests with postural and action tremors. Hence, patients with essential tremor have difficulty performing basic activities of daily living, including eating and drinking. Though medical therapies such as beta-blockers and primidone may provide some degree of relief for patients, a subset of patients do not experience improvement with medical therapy. Deep brain stimulation targeting the ventralis intermedius nucleus of the thalamus is an effective intervention for essential tremor. Stimulation-induced side effects can include paresthesia from stimulation of the sensory thalamus and motor effects from stimulation of the internal capsule. Evidence supports performing surgery either with patients awake using intraoperative electrophysiological testing or with patients asleep using intraoperative radiological confirmation.

Abstract:
Abstract Tremor is a common symptom of hypokinetic-rigid syndromes such as Parkinson disease. The classical tremor of Parkinson disease is an asymmetric pill-rolling resting tremor of the arms, but postural tremor (including re-emergent and pure postural tremor) and kinetic tremor are also very common. Tremor in atypical parkinsonism is often a symmetric postural tremor that can be jerkier in nature. The pathophysiology of rest tremor in Parkinson disease involves abnormal activity within both the basal ganglia and a cerebello-thalamo-cortical motor circuit, driven by altered dopaminergic, noradrenergic, and serotonergic projections arising from the midbrain. The dopaminergic basis of Parkinson’s tremor differs markedly between individuals and between clinical tremor phenotypes. Dopaminergic treatment (levodopa and dopamine agonists) is the first-choice treatment for rest and re-emergent tremor in Parkinson disease, and probably also rest tremor in atypical parkinsonism. Other pharmacological options include anticholinergics, beta-blockers, or even clozapine, although evidence for these treatment strategies is limited. Additionally, stereotactic surgery including focal lesioning and deep brain stimulation of both basal ganglia (GPi and STN) and thalamus (ventral intermediate nucleus, VIM) are effective treatments for most types of tremor in Parkinson disease.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses a case in which a “rescue” deep brain stimulation (DBS) lead was implanted to address suboptimal tremor control. The patient was a 52-year-old woman with disabling bilateral postural and action hand tremor who also had mild parkinsonian signs. An essential tremor (ET)–Parkinson disease (PD) syndrome was suspected, and subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS was pursued. Attempts at optimizing tremor control by reprogramming were limited by the induction of brittle dyskinesia even with small amounts of stimulation. Bilateral ventral intermediate thalamus DBS leads were then implanted, and the tremors improved significantly. Troubleshooting strategies for optimizing tremor control and reducing STN DBS–induced brittle dyskinesia are discussed. The chapter reviews important learning points on DBS target selection for ET, PD, and ET-PD spectrum syndromes.

It is observed that postural instability and gait problems become resistant to pharmacologic therapy as the disease progresses. Furthermore, studies suggest that postural sway abnormalities are worsened by levodopa, the mainstay of therapy for PD. This paper presents a cl

Based on this, the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) technique - stimulation of subcortical structures with electrodes - is a good treatment option. Methods: A narrative review of the literature was carried out, using the PubMed database with the keywords “Deep brain sti

Abstract:
Abstract Tremor, or an involuntary and oscillatory movement of a body part, is a cardinal symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that can significantly impact activities of daily living in people with PD (PwPD). Although tremor can be mitigated with anti-PD medications, medication effectiveness is mixed for PwPD. Therefore, daily monitoring and assessment of tremor are of interest to PwPD, clinicians, and researchers. While several sensors and wearable devices have been developed and introduced to the consumer market, high costs limit their accessibility. The current research is two-fold. First,

Abstract:
Abstract Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the United States, affecting at least one million people. The cardinal symptoms of PD are tremor, rigidity, slowed movement, and impaired balance. While some symptoms of PD are responsive to anti-PD medications, other symptoms, are less medication responsive, especially walking and balance. Moreover, daily activities, such as writing, using tools, and walking, affect the quality of life (QoL) of people with PD (PwPD). Monitoring PD symptoms is essential for clinical evaluations and adjusting medication to

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological disease caused by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra of the brain, resulting in lesions in the basal ganglia. The main motor symptoms of PD include resting tremor, rigidity, akinesia or bradykinesia and postural instability. As an exercise intervention based on musical accompaniment, tango dance has shown positive effects on the rehabilitation of motor symptoms in PD patients in recently. In this study, we systematically reviewed the efficacy of tango intervention in
