Abstract
- Orthostatic tremor is characterized by tremor of legs on standing that disappears on siting down or walking, We have recently seen a 68 year-old woman who showed typical orthostatic tremor, EMG bursts of 4-5 Hz were recorded in the leg muscles only when she was standing, Alprazolam, propranolol and clonazepam were ineffective in the alleviation of her tremor. We believe this to be the first Korean case in the literature.
