Sponsor's own description

Essential tremor is one of the most common movement disorders in the world and is characterized by postural and/or kinetic tremor. Although the prevalence studies show differences due to the absence of a biological marker of the disease, it has been shown that the disease affects 4% of the population over 40 years of age and this rate may increase up to 14% in the population over 65 years of age. The annual incidence of Essential Tremor was found to be 616 per 100 thousand. The incidence of the disease increases with age. An incidence study shows that the disease increases progressively with age, with a sharp increase after age 49. In another study, it was stated that the age of onset of the disease showed a bimodal distribution, reaching the highest level in the second and sixth decades. It is stated that the severity and disability of tremor increase with age. The female-to-male ratio of the disease was found to be equal, but it was shown that more head tremor developed in females. Although the factors affecting essential tremor are aging, stress, family history, excessive caffeine consumption, smoking, muscle weakness, distal and proximal muscle strength differences were detected in young individuals with tremor. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between proximal and distal muscle strength and upper extremity functional skills in geriatric individuals with essential tremor.
