Tremors are a type of dyskinesia. Nerve diseases cause many movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. Other causes include injuries, autoimmune diseases, infections and certain medicines.[icdlist.com]
Subtypes of tremors include tremors at rest, essential tremor, which is a postural tremor at either rest or activity and may be inherited, or tremor with movement (intention "kinetic" tremor).[encyclopedia.com]
The term "tardive dyskinesia" was first introduced in 1964 and is now commonly used to identify any tardive movement disorder, including stereotypy, akathisia , dystonia, myoclonus , tics, chorea, and tremor ( Faurbye et al 1964 ).[medlink.com]

Persistent emergent tardive dyskinesia was defined by the scores on the dyskinesia subscale of the ExtrapyramidalSymptom Rating Scale. Among the 330 patients enrolled in the study, the mean age was 82.5 years.[aafp.org]
About two-thirds had no extrapyramidalsymptoms. Approximately one-quarter had orofacial and generalized dyskinesia and 12% had orofacial and generalized dystonia, but half of patients showed a mixed presentation.[medpagetoday.com]

Choreoathetoidmovements of the fingers, hands, or upper or lower extremities also are common. Patients may experience axial symptoms affecting the neck, shoulders, spine, or pelvis.[mdedge.com]
Involuntary biting, clenching, chewing, mouth opening, and lateral movements of the jaw may also occur, along with protrusion, tremor, and choreoathetoidmovements (ie, rolling, wormlike movement of the tongue without displacement from the mouth).[mdmag.com]

Typically, patients receive antiepileptic medications, and improvement of symptoms is usually associated with a good prognosis. If symptoms do not improve with antiepileptic medication(s), the prognosis is not favorable.[encyclopedia.com]
Prognosis The earlier the problem is noticed and treatment begun, the better chance there is that the abnormal movements will go away. Most patients have a noticeable improvement in their symptoms within a year and a half.[minddisorders.com]
