The document discusses an algorithm for managing tremors. It outlines steps to differentiate between the main types of tremors - Parkinson's disease tremor, essential tremor, dystonic tremor - by examining features like tremor distribution and characteristics, presence of other neurological signs, family history, and response to maneuvers. The algorithm aims to guide physicians in identifying the underlying cause or causes of a patient's tremor.
