There was one big and apparently insurmountable problem in the logic: however much I might wish it otherwise, my hands shake! The only solution that I could come up with was one which defied logic. I had to persuade myself that, as far as I was concerned, my hands did not shake: ET was not a factor in my life; it did not exist.
Overall they are all very similar, with most attention being placed on what to exclude. One such classification scheme that emphasizes the difficulties in diagnosis is as follows. Classical ET: bilateral postural and kinetic tremor of the hands and forearms, isolated head tremor. Indeterminate Tremor Syndrome: classical ET but complicated by other symptoms which are ‘equivocal’ such as unsteady gait, mild dementia, and reduced arm swing.

The left hand was secured to a table and, with the exception of the index finger, the other fingers were bent into a fist. High technology equipment was used to measure movement (miniature accelerometer), electrical signals (EMG) and force (transducer) in the index finger. Increasing weights (0–114 g) were then strapped to the index finger, and people were asked to hold their index finger slightly above horizontal for 1–2 minutes whilst measurements were taken. The things people do for science!
