About Resting Tremor

A resting tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic shaking of a body part that occurs when the muscles are at rest and typically diminishes with voluntary movement. It is a key diagnostic sign, most famously associated with Parkinson's disease, but can also result from other neurological conditions, medications, or metabolic disorders. An Internal Medicine specialist evaluates a resting tremor through a detailed neurological examination, assessing its characteristics, distribution, and associated symptoms. This clinical assessment is crucial for differential diagnosis and guiding further investigations, such as blood tests or imaging, to identify the underlying cause and formulate an appropriate management plan.
