PROCEDURE

Limb Cooling Assessment of ET

The non-pharmacological treatment assessments of limb cooling will take place for the subjects which will include the upper limbs. Both clinical and physiological recordings will be measured for a difference in tremors at three different temperatures. 1)baseline assessment maintaining a normal body temperature (96-98°F). 2) at a temperature of 59°F and 3) at a temperature of 80°F for a period of 10 minutes. The clinical assessments will include the Tremor Rating Scale (TRS), Handwriting Assessment Battery (HAB) and the Functional Dexterity Test (FDT). In addition, the Bagnoli and Trigno EMG systems to record surface EMG signals from muscles and accelerometer readings.
