What is Orthostatic Tremor? - www.orthostatictremor.org/
Primary Orthostatic Tremor *, also known as Orthostatic Tremor (OT), is a neurological movement disorder, characterized by high frequency tremors, predominantly in the legs when in a standing position, and an immediate sense of instability.
Because of the speed of the contractions (13-18 Hz)** you may not recognize the problem as a tremor as compared to the more common essential tremor (4-7 Hz) or Parkinsons (3-6Hz) which produces a very visible movement.
Currently considered a rare disorder however, we are greatly under diagnosed and often misdiagnosed as other neurological problems such as Parkinson's, MS, ET, etc. Cause and cure is unknown. Orthostatic tremor was previously referred to as Shaky Leg Syndrome.
OT/POT is a complicated and difficult tremor disorder to understand. When we describe our symptoms to someone we generally do not complain of tremors as such because our main focus is on a sudden, unique, disabling event that happens to our legs when we attempt to do anything that requires us to remain in a standing position. What we feel in both legs simultaneously is extreme straining, fatigue, unsteadiness and a fear of falling. The muscles in our legs become hard, our ankles feel weak and toes curl under as our legs fail to support us. We can stand for only a short period of time, in some cases only seconds. There is a feeling of panic to find a place to sit, or if possible, walk to gain some relief of our symptoms. Other areas of the body, such as trunk and arms may also be effected. This OT profile is a repeating cycle that happens all through our day. OT is an entity that is life changing and unrelenting.
