Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resting tremor is a shaking of limbs at rest that disappears during voluntary movement. This is a common symptom of Parkinson's disease which is caused by damage to the basal nuclei. ChoreA is a sudden, jerky movement that is not specific to rest or voluntary movement. Intention tremor is characterized by tremors during purposeful movement, and spastic paralysis results from damage to upper motor neurons in the brain or spinal cord.
