It is Parkinson's restig tremor as correctly dianosed by one. Cerebellar tremor is not a resting one. Cerebellum helps to coordinate movements, make them precise to reach the target. So if there is cerebellar lesion, it will cause an action tremor, characterised by dysmetria - appearing towards the end of the movement and overshooting the target - also called intention tremor. Cerebellar lesion will be associated with hypotonia of the muscles, whereas parkinsonism will be associated with rigidity - lead-pipe or cogwheel type. Pendular reflex is another clinical sign found in cerebellar lesion.
resting tremor from parkinson syndrome?
ReplyDeleteI think is postural tremor.
