Intention Tremor
April 18th, 2019
Overview
Look For
- Tremor that increases with target-directed movement.
This is best demonstrated with the finger-nose test, where the patient is asked to use their index finger to touch their nose and then your finger. Their finger will tremor increasingly as it approaches its target.
Significance
- Cerebellar disease in the form of stroke, tumour or multiple sclerosis.
