Tremors
are quivering, usually involuntary, movements. They may occur
continually or may only appear at certain times. For example,
tremors may appear during times of extreme emotion (e.g. trembling
with fear).
Many patients with Parkinson's
disease display "resting tremors", tremors that appear
when the patient is at rest but are suppressed when the patient
is moving.
