What causes postural tremor?

Postural tremor belongs to action tremor, which is generally most common in idiopathic tremor, and can also be seen in Parkinson’s disease, hereditary ataxia and functional movement disorders. 1. Idiopathic tremor: it is a common movement disorder, more common in clinical practice, belongs to hereditary disease, manifested as hand tremor, jaw tremor, head tremor. Typical performance is postural tremor, tremor is often the only abnormal performance of the patient. 2.
