Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Tremors
Tremors are rhythmic and involuntary muscle contractions that result in twitching or oscillations of one or more body parts. It is one of the most common involuntary movements and can affect the vocal folds, hands, eyes, arms, face, head, legs, and trunk.
Tremors can be caused by traumatic brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, use of drugs, withdrawal, liver failure, hyperthyroidism, and more. Tremors are most commonly seen in ataxic cerebral palsy which is most noticeable especially when the patient is trying to carry out precise movements such as writing or tying shoe laces.
