Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tremor is defined as an involuntary, rhythmic, and oscillatory movement of a body part [1]. It is caused by either alternating or synchronous contractions of antagonistic muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Generally, tremor is caused by a problem in the deep parts of the brain that control movements. Most types of tremor have no known cause, although there are some forms that appear to be inherited and run in families. Tremor can occur on its own or be a symptom associated with a number of neurological disorders.

Detailed explanation-3: -Myoclonus is an uncontrollable muscle movement that’s sudden and brief. This can happen for a wide range of reasons. Many causes are normal and harmless, but myoclonus can also be a symptom of serious nervous system conditions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tremor is a rhythmic shaking or trembling of a limb. Tremor can occur at rest or during movement, and can occur alone or with other symptoms such as weakness of the limb and difficulty in fine-tuning movements. Tremor sometimes runs in families. The most common inherited form is known as essential tremor.

Detailed explanation-5: -Loss of muscle tone (flaccidity) Slow, twisting, or continued movements (chorea, athetosis, or dystonia) Sudden jerking movements (myoclonus, ballismus) Uncontrollable repetitive movements (asterixis or tremor) 28-Jan-2021
