Multidimensional Assessment of Tremors in patients with Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

Upper limb intentional tremor is commonly found multiple sclerosis patients. Tremors were closely associated with damage to the cerebellum or its connections. Tremors also associated with hypotonia, which further limits functional performance. Upper-limb intention tremor is strongly correlated with disability in MS patients and affect the activities of eating, drinking, picking up the phone, handwriting, using the computer and using a television remote-control device. Addressing the tremor problems in MS patients may be significantly helpful in management of acute phase as well as rehabilitation. Aim of the Study: This study aimed to assess multidimension of tremors in patients with multiple sclerosis. Research Question: What are the multidimension of tremors in patients with multiple sclerosis? Research design: A descriptive exploratory design was utilized for the conduction of this study.
