We review the definitions, the classification of the varieties of tremor, and the contribution of central versus peripheral mechanisms. In this book, we provide an overview of tremor from pathogenesis to therapeutic aspects. Moreover, significant progress in computer technologies, developments of reliable and unobtrusive wearable sensors, improvements in miniaturization, and advances in signal processing have opened new perspectives for the accurate characterization and daily monitoring of tremor. There have been major advances in our understanding of tremor pathogenesis these last three decades, thanks to new imaging techniques and genetic discoveries. Tremor results from dynamic interactions between multiple synaptically coupled neuronal systems and the biomechanical, physical, and electrical properties of the external effectors. ![]() Tremor is a complex phenomenon that has attracted the attention of scientists from various disciplines. Tremor is now recognized as a public health issue given the aging of the population. In most cases, tremor is disabling and causes social difficulties, resulting in poorer quality of life. It affects both sexes and may occur at any age. ![]() Tremor represents one of the most common movement disorders worldwide.
