Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurological disorder globally. Defining features include tremor, muscular rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability, which in combination with nonmotor symptoms such as cognitive impairment and orthostatic hypotension increase the risk of falls. Along with low bone mineral density, fracture risk is high in PD.

Background: Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a rare movement disorder characterized by a feeling of unsteadiness and a high-frequency tremor in the legs (13-18 Hz) relieved by sitting or walking.

Objectives: The aims were to study the brain electrophysiology captured chronically in a person with medication-refractory OT while standing and walking and in the semi-recumbent position using bilateral ventral intermedius nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS) (Medtronic Percept PC) and to describe the clinical use of closed-loop DBS.

Methods: A sensing survey was used to capture baseline local field potentials (LFPs) while standing.

Aim: This study investigates the potential of 3-Hz orthostatic tremor (OT) as a diagnostic red-flag sign for differentiating multiple system atrophy (MSA) from Parkinson's disease (PD).

Patients And Methods: A total of 615 PD patients and 234 MSA patients (120 MSA-P and 114 MSA-C) participated. OT at ~ 3 Hz and other frequencies was identified through rhythmic postural sway on the stabilogram map and confirmed by fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis.

Background: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), a treatable condition that stems from spinal leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, usually presents with orthostatic headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and tinnitus. A subset of patients, especially those with sagging of brain structures ("brain sagging syndrome"), develop several movement abnormalities. As SIH is treatable with epidural blood patch (EBP), movement disorders neurologists should be familiar with this syndrome.

Background: Pseudo-orthostatic tremor is a hyperkinetic movement disorder usually associated with other neurological comorbidities, mainly Parkinson's disease.

Case Report: A 65-year-old male presented with unsteadiness and leg tremor while standing. Electrophysiological evaluation confirmed the presence of pseudo-orthostatic tremor.
