Movement Disorder Society Link to Rating Scales Although first mis-step in tandem gait is not as detailed as dynamic balance tests, it can be a simple method for detecting balance disorders.NIH Common Disease Elements - Parkinson Disease Balance disorders were more pronounced in ET patients. The decrease in balance control is apparent with advancing age. Linear regression showed a significant effect of age and FTMTRS score on TI. Correlation analysis of TI and FTMTRS scores showed tandem gait was significantly correlated with age, total tremor score, postural and kinetic extremity tremor, writing, drawing, pouring, feeding, and working scores. Postural tremor was found in the lower extremities of 5%. Rest (2.5%), postural (95%), and kinetic tremors (54%) were detected in the upper extremities. Head (24.6%), jaw (5.5%), voice (11%), and tongue tremors (1.5%) were identified in ET patients. There was no significant difference for age or sex between patients and controls. The mean age was 61.4 ± 17 years the mean duration of tremor was 6.7 ± 4 years and there were 36 men and 54 women. The mean of first mis-steps was accepted as the tandem index (TI). All patients performed a 15-step tandem three times. We compared abnormalities in tandem gait with daily activity and Fahn–Tolosa–Marin Tremor Rating Scale (FTMTRS) scores in 90 ET patients. ET may cause substantial loss of motor skills and balance with advanced age. Essential tremor (ET) is the most commonly diagnosed movement disorder.
