Shaking That Worsens With Movement
One common cause of hand tremors is a condition called essential tremor. For those with this condition, hand tremors can become worse when they move. However, this isn't always the case. Some conditions, such as Parkinson's disease, are characterized by hand tremors that improve with movement and increase with rest.1Barrell, Amanda. ‘What Does It Mean If You Have Shaky Hands?’ Medical News Today, 2 Jan. 2020, www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322195#prevention
Therefore, the type of tremor a person experiences and how the tremor presents may be an indicator of its underlying cause.
