We are all tremoring all the time

[Debgiffen]

Interesting discussion on Parkinson’s by Professor Robert Sapolsky.

“We are actually all tremoring all the time. … our hands are tremoring at 12 oscillations a second. And, just as everything else slows down with Parkinson’s, the tremors slow down and become more visible at 3 or 4 oscillations per second because the intervals have more excursion, it winds up being more visible.”

So, is this why the various vibrating devices (Tass, Beech Band, etc.) work? Do they speed up the oscillations?

Minute one: is not correct. Familial is not necessarily worse than sporadic. It depends upon the mutation involved.

What about the opening quote?

Can somebody definitively and authoritatively confirm or refute this opening statement from Deb's quote:

“We are actually all tremoring all the time. … our hands are tremoring at 12 oscillations a second. And, just as everything else slows down with Parkinson’s, the tremors slow down and become more visible at 3 or 4 oscillations per second because the intervals have more excursion, it winds up being more visible.”
