    Abstract:
    Tremor is the most common movement disorder and differs from other disorders by its repetitive, stereotyped movements, with regular frequency and amplitude. The three most frequent pathological forms of it are the essential tremor (ET), the Parkinson's disease (PD) tremor, and the enhanced physiological tremor. The ET and PD tremor affect the older population mostly. Although there are cases of tremor reported since ancient times, there is currently no consensus about its causes or about its main differential characteristics. In this article, we present a review of the methods more frequently used in measurement and analysis of tremor and the difficulties encountered in the research for the identification of methodologies that allow a significant advance in the study of tremor.
