Primary Orthostatic Tremor

Orthostatic Tremor

What is Orthostatic Tremor?
According to orthostatictremor.org, “Primary Orthostatic Tremor, also known as Orthostatic Tremor (OT), is a progressive neurological movement disorder, characterized by high frequency tremors, predominantly in the legs when in a standing position, and an immediate sense of instability.”

Etiology
They are unsure of the exact cause of orthostatic tremor. Some research thinks that it is a subtype of essential tremor, others
 think it is it’s own thing. Some individuals with orthostatic tremor have a family history of tremors. This suggests that orthostatic tremor may have a genetic factor.
