Essential Tremor
Guides on essential tremor: what makes it different from Parkinson's tremor, how to track it at home, and what a clinician needs from your log.
Essential tremor is the most common movement disorder in adults, and one of the most commonly misunderstood. It is not Parkinson's disease, it usually appears when the hand is being used rather than at rest, and it has a very different natural history. The articles collected here explain what essential tremor is and is not, what to write down when tracking it week to week, and how the tremor and hand-control assessment in Alumina Health helps build a longitudinal record you can share with a movement disorder specialist. Where an article touches conditions that overlap clinically, such as Parkinson's disease, it links directly to the relevant condition page so you can compare features side by side.
