Pathology
- This is tremor that arises from muscles
- It is seen in myopathies that affect the contractile elements of muscle
- It is generated from the sarcomere
- It may be caused by mutations in sarcomeric genes
- It is a high frequency, postural, and kinetic tremor
Genetic causes
Acquired causes
