Intention Tremor, also known as Kinetic, Action and Cerebellar Tremor, is a condition where goal-directed movements produce shaking in the moving body parts - most noticeably in the hands. People with intention tremor get the feedback more slowly, send corrective transmissions to the muscles more slowly,

†--Action tremor includes intention tremor (exacerbation toward the end of goal-directed movement), kinetic tremor (during any type of movement) and task-specific tremor (only during performance of highly skilled activities, such as writing or playing a musical instument).

Kinetic tremor, which occurs with voluntary movement, is either simple kinetic tremor or intention tremor. Simple kinetic tremor is associated with movement of extremities (e.g., pronation-supination or flexion-extension wrist movements). Intention tremor occurs during visually guided movement toward a target (e...
