Handedness and essential tremor.

N Biary, W Koller

    Archives of Neurology
    |November 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Essential tremor severity is linked to hand dominance, with left-handed individuals showing a higher incidence. This study explores the connection between handedness and essential tremor characteristics.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Essential tremor is a common neurological disorder.
    • Hand dominance is a well-established characteristic of human motor control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between hand dominance and essential tremor.
    • To determine if left-handedness is more prevalent in essential tremor patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of hand dominance in essential tremor patients and control groups.
    • Assessment of tremor severity in relation to hand dominance.

    Main Results:

    • A direct correlation was observed between hand dominance and the severity of hand tremor.
    • Essential tremor patients exhibited a significantly higher incidence of left-handedness compared to controls.

    Conclusions:

    • Hand dominance is a relevant factor in essential tremor.
    • Left-handedness may be associated with an increased risk or altered presentation of essential tremor.
