What kind of help do you need: What causes hand tremors? Is it due to a lack of nutrition? What are the best supplements to take?
Doctor's answer:
Mainly, it is divided into two types: static tremor and kinetic tremor. Static tremor occurs when the muscles are completely relaxed, i.e., in a state of rest. This type of tremor can disappear while sleeping, with a tremor rate of 4–6 times per second, and is relatively regular. Typical diseases include Parkinson's syndrome. Kinetic tremor only appears during movement, and the tremor intensifies as the movement approaches the target. For example, during the finger-to-nose test, the doctor asks the patient to extend their forearm, then use their index finger to touch their own nose tip. The closer the fingertip gets to the nose tip, the more noticeable the hand tremor becomes. Kinetic tremor is irregular, with a large amplitude of tremor, and can be exacerbated by emotional factors. It is commonly associated with lesions of the cranial nerves and upper limb nerves. If pathological factors are ruled out, another common cause of tremor is psychological factors.
