• Tremor chronic

• A disorder characterized by the uncontrolled shaking movement of the whole body or individual parts.
• Cyclical movement of a body part that can represent either a physiologic process or a manifestation of disease. Intention or action tremor, a common manifestation of cerebellar diseases, is aggravated by movement. In contrast, resting tremor is maximal when there is no attempt at voluntary movement, and occurs as a relatively frequent manifestation of parkinson disease.
• Functions of alternating contraction and relaxation of a group of muscles around a joint, resulting in shakiness.
• Involuntary trembling or quivering.
• The shaking movement of the whole body or just a certain part of it, often caused by problems of the neurons responsible for muscle action.
• Tremors are unintentional trembling or shaking movements in one or more parts of your body. Most tremors occur in the hands. You can also have arm, head, face, vocal cord, trunk and leg tremors. Tremors are most common in middle-aged and older people, but anyone can have them.tremors commonly occur in otherwise healthy people. Sometimes, however, nerve diseases such as parkinson's disease or dystonia, an overactive thyroid, or certain medicines can cause them. Heavy drinking, because it kills certain nerve cells, can cause tremors, too. Some forms are inherited and run in families. Others have no known cause. There is no cure for most tremors. Treatment to relieve them depends on their cause. In many cases, medicines and sometimes surgical procedures can reduce or stop tremors and improve muscle control. Tremors are not life threatening. However, they can be embarrassing and make it hard to perform daily tasks.
