Essential tremor (ET) is the most common pathological tremor in humans. The traditional view of ET, as a mono-symptomatic condition, is being replaced by an appreciation of the spectrum of clinical features, with both motor and non-motor elements. These features are not distributed homogeneously across patients. In addition, post-mortem studies are now demonstrating distinct structural changes ...

Introduction: Essential vocal tremor (EVT) is vocal tremor occurring in an individual diagnosed with essential tremor and is an action induced tremor that occurs during speech production. It causes fewer communication attempts, difficulty initiating and maintaining phonation, effortful speaking avoidance of social events trouble sustaining relationship leading to impair quality of life for such...

The paper presents a comparative analysis of Machine Learning (ML) research methods allowing to assess the risk mining damage occurring in traditional masonry buildings located area Legnica-Głogów Copper District (LGOM) as result intense tremors. database reports on that occurred after tremors 20 February 2002, 16 May 2004 and 21 2006 formed basis for analysis.
 Based these data, classific...

Genetic factors are thought to play a major role in the etiology of essential tremor (ET); however, few genetic changes that induce ET have been identified to date. In the present study, to find genes responsible for the development of ET, we employed a rat model system consisting of a tremulous mutant strain, TRM/Kyo (TRM), and its substrain TRMR/Kyo (TRMR). The TRM rat is homozygous for the t...

Muscle tremors reflect rhythmical motor unit (MU) activities. Therefore, the MU firing patterns and synchrony determine the properties of the parkinsonian force tremor (FT) and the neurogenic components of associated limb tremors. They may also be indicative of the neural mechanisms of tremor genesis which to date remain uncertain. We examined these MU behaviours during isometric contractions o...

One hundred patients with definite multiple sclerosis, who were randomly selected from a multiple sclerosis unit in London, were examined in order to study the prevalence, subtypes, clinical features and associated disability of tremor in this population. There were 35 males and 65 females with an average age of 47 years and an average disease duration of 18.8 years. The mean tremor duration wa...

In this paper we present the initial results using an artificial neural network to predict the onset of Parkinson’s Disease tremors in a human subject. Data for the network was obtained from implanted deep brain electrodes. A tuned artificial neural network was shown to be able to identify the pattern of the onset tremor from these real time recordings.
