Resumo

Tremor é o distúrbio do movimento mais comum e é caracterizado por oscilação involuntária e rítmica de qualquer parte do corpo decorrente de contrações de músculos antagonistas que podem ser síncronas ou alternantes. O tremor pode ser classificado de diversas maneiras de acordo com a etiologia, fenomenologia, freqüência e localização. Segundo a fenomenologia ou, mais exatamente, segundo as circunstâncias em que se manifesta podemos ter o tremor de repouso e de ação. A freqüência do tremor pode ser baixa (<4HZ), média (4 e 7Hz) e alta (>7Hz). No que se refere à localização, podemos observar o tremor em qualquer parte do corpo, sendo os membros superiores e a cabeça os segmentos mais acometidos. De acordo com a fenomenologia dos elementos do tremor pode ser combinado em diferentes síndromes.
