Difficulty Writing
As a result of constant shaking or a reduced ability to grip a pen, people with hand tremors may find writing an increasingly difficult task. In some instances, it may be more difficult to hold a pen or a person's handwriting may become less legible.
Fortunately, if a person finds their hand tremor is affecting their ability to write or the quality of their handwriting, there are products such as enlarged or weighted pens that may help make the task easier.4Parkinson’s Viewpoint. ‘7 Best Weighted Pens for People with Hand Tremors (A Review).’ Parkinson’s Viewpoint |, 16 May 2021, parkinsonviewpoint.com/3-best-weighted-pens-for-people-with-hand-tremors
