What Causes Tremors in the Hands?
A hand tremor is an involuntary trembling, or shaking of your hand. Hand tremors can occur at any age but are more common in older people. If the tremor occurs while your hand is at rest it is called a static tremor. Tremors that occur when you are using your hand for something, such as to reach for something or to write, but go away when you rest your hand, are kinetic tremors. Holding your hand in one position too long can result in a postural tremor. Hand tremors can occur for many reasons and often affect other parts of your body as well.
