Abstract
Essential tremor (ET), the most prevalent movement disorder, has a peak prevalence in the sixth decade of life. ET primarily affects the hands and head. Persons with ET are often significantly disabled in communication, work, leisure, domestic activities, and psychosocial adjustment. Medical intervention for ET is often limited in effectiveness. A biobehavioral rehabilitation model for older adults with ET is described.Keywords
