Abstract:
Orthostatic tremor is a rare movement disorder. It is characterized by unsteadiness when standing and it can be relieved when sitting or walking. It is confirmed on neurophysiological recording by the presence of a fast tremor of 13-18 Hz in the legs and trunk. Due to a small number of cases reported, most clinicians lack of understanding of the disease, resulting in misdiagnosis. This review summarizes the clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, differential diagnoses, and treatment strategies of orthostatic tremor to improve the understanding of the disease among clinicians.
