Foot tremor

Foot tremor is a nonspecific pathology that leads to serious problems for the individual. This symptom usually becomes the first "flag" in dangerous pathologies, requiring, as a minimum, research. Foot tremor rarely means itself as a subspecies of a single symptom complex, but more often it still signals a pathological process that this symptom provokes. Often tremor of the legs prevents normal walking, and also combines with a tremor of a different origin. Pathologies associated with this pathology require the approach of individual and responsible treatment. Each individual can come into contact with individual manifestations, which are important to adequately diagnose.

Causes of tremor of legs

Tremor has a Latin origin and indicates a varicoloured tremor. He has a division into two fundamentally different groups: a tremor in the normal state of the body and tremor of the legs in certain pathologies. This type of tremor is less common, in particular in comparison with hand tremor. In some ways, this is associated with increased load on the legs and the difficulties of its oversight.

Physiological tremor of the legs is provoked in individuals with a labile psyche, which have some accentuations in their nature. Since accentuations are extreme manifestations of the characterological norm, the tremor of the legs in this particular case is normal. This is characteristic when an individual has an hysteroid radical. Also, this manifestation can be observed in neurotic asthenic personalities.

In some cases, tremor of the legs is a protective mechanism, there is even an expression - "the legs are shaken", it can be present under stressful situations, great emotional shakes.

Foot tremor in adults who refer themselves to creative individuals is very common, since such persons are very sensitive. Taking certain medicines and even doses of alcohol from unaccustomed use can also provoke this symptom, but this does not require a complete refusal of the active drug, it just requires correct dosage adjustment. This, of course, does not apply to alcohol, its dose should not be adjusted, it needs to be canceled because the tremor, when taking alcohol, can raise a hidden microorganism outside, which does not give data about itself.

Many plants are able to excite the nervous system, many people, while taking tea with lemongrass, do not even have a suspicion that it can trigger a tremor. Almost all bad habits give a similar side effect, for example, sleep deprivation, that is a violation of the normal ratio of sleep and wakefulness. But we do not often think about the harmfulness of insomnia. About smoking, alcoholism, and also strong tea and coffee, even speech does not go - these are the first provocateurs of physiological tremor of the legs.

Foot tremor in adults can also have pathological origins, namely:

- Occupational hazards, for example, working with lead, static loads.

- Sitting work or for a machine and similar apparatus.

- With abstinence alcohol syndrome, tremors worry not only in the legs, but also other parts of the body.

- Endocrine pathology also triggers tremors of the legs. Especially in this involved such systems: pancreatic, adrenal and thyroid.

- Infections and hereditary pathologies also play a negative role in leg tremors, in particular Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and senile dementia.

- From infectious it happens with syphilis, with the defeat of nerves, the so-called dance of St. Witt.

- Encephalitis and meningitis of different genesis.

Foot tremor in newborns is provoked by the underdevelopment of the nervous system. It is usually immature, which can provoke a variety of transient, that is, passing states. The tremor of the legs of a baby is not always a sign of neurological pathology, but a sign of overwork of a child. In infants, this manifestation can be provoked by the failure and immaturity of individual muscle groups and a disproportionate load.

Tremor in the child's legs can often be with fatigue or as a sub-type of a creep. It can be caused by serious problems, in particular, in prenatal asphyxia, problems in childbirth. Tremor of a child's legs can be after surgery, upon withdrawal from anesthesia. In the older age range, the child may be visited by various phobias that trigger tremors, as well as improper care. Dangerous infections: measles, rubella, herpes, toxoplasmosis. It can also be induced by CCT and fermentopathy, by the type of celiac disease, phenylketonuria.

Symptoms of tremor of legs

Foot tremors can have different symptoms and depend on the underlying pathology that caused it.

In cerebellar ataxia, the tremor of the legs is manifested in a shaky walk. And this is basically characterized by stressful manifestations and is able to completely not manifest itself in a recumbent and any quiet situation. Such a tremor is intentional, that is, characteristic for loads. It manifests itself on a large scale and is noticeable due to the disability of the suffering individual. Such a cerebellar pathology is called ataxia and in addition to this symptom has some aggregate. From the testing techniques it is possible to set the heels down from the knee to the bottom, the tremor at the stress of this action will immediately be noticeable.

There are varieties of tremors that occur only when loaded. There are subspecies that are noticeable only with passive actions and with rest. All this is checked by a neurological examination of the individual.

Foot tremor in adults does not differ with strong features in endocrine pathology. The tremor itself is an incidental symptom of the pathology, that is, in addition to the tremor, the symptoms of the underlying disease manifest themselves, it depends on the affected endocrine organ. If it is thyroid, then sweating, aggressiveness, insomnia, bulging eyes out of the orbits( in severe cases).With adrenal pathology, aggression, fear and other symptoms usually occur, accompanied by the release of catecholamines. With the symptoms of diabetes mellitus, leg tremors can be provoked by hypoglycemia and completely go away with the use of adequate glucose doses.

Unlike the tremor of cerebellar etiology, with drug tremor, the sweep is significantly reduced. With Parkinson's pathology, tremor is much stronger in a calm state, the person's handwriting is changing, according to the type of micrography. With loads, it decreases, as in the treatment. In addition to probing with the knee, you can use a walking test, and you will also notice the manifestation of jitter.

Foot tremor in newborns can not be detected with walking tests, but visual methods can be used. The child is not difficult to follow, because he is always in sight.

Foot tremor, of course, affects the self-esteem of an individual with strong criticism. Usually this does not concern only patients in the terminal stage of Alzheimer's disease. With Pick's disease, the tremor is less noticeable and with a later progression. Vascular dementias also have a tremor in the structure, but since they are not criticized because of a lesion of the frontal lobe, there are no complaints of this.

Foot tremor in a baby can often be triggered by reboots, for example, when walking begins. Its main manifestation will be transient, that is, with some skills and rest it will pass.

Essential foot tremor also has a place to be. It has a genetic etiology and is manifested in senile( senile) age. But the first symptomatology he gives in his youth in the form of a finely dispersed tremor. As a rule, this pathology, even in the advanced degree, does not manifest itself in rest, but also in a dream, as if falling asleep with the owner.

Treating Foot Tremor

With this condition, it is possible to use folk methods: a variety of broths and rubs. But it is worth approaching this deliberately and in time when you need to suspect something more serious than pathologies that require treatment with herbs.

With stress tremor, soothing teas are excellent, especially to eliminate the stress factor. If the stimulus continues to affect the individual, then no symptomatic treatment will be effective. Sometimes a stressful situation puts pressure on the individual, which requires the use of psychotherapeutic techniques. Beta-adrenoblockers have anti-hormone action, but because of bronchospasmic side effects, they are used with caution: Bisoprolol, Metoprolol, Concor, Carvedilol, Propranolol, Atenolol, Anaprilin, Cordanum, Nebivalol. Benzodiazepines are used in the case of sedation, as Valeriana or Motherwort. This is a discharge of tranquilizers, which have a stronger effect. Of the side effects, the most dangerous are: addiction and a decrease in concentration, so they are shown to individuals who do not work on responsible, especially life-threatening jobs. Most commonly used are Sibazon, Gidazepam, Klozepam, Phenazepam, Xanax, Nordiazepam, Lorazepam, Kvazepam, Nozepam, Valium, Librium, Diazepam, Serax. If tremor is the precursor of epilepsy, then anticonvulsants, for example, carbamazepine, Valproate, Depakin, are used. The strength of the tremor is modified when taking Primidone, in particular decreases.

With a particularly intense tremor that significantly disrupts walking, a surgical technique is used. It is necessary to take into account the danger of any interventions, and carefully choose a specialist. In the mentally ill, tremor with the use of neuroleptic drugs is removed by means of correctors, such as Cyclodol, Parkopan, Ramparkin, Tryfen, Trihexyphenidine. Calcium gluconate is also effective.

Of physiotherapeutic methods, there are many effective methods. In particular, reflexology, massage, coniferous baths, bromhexedine collar. Not excluded and many Asian methods, the type of acupuncture, the impact on the reflex points. Also therapy with bees, apitherapy, vitaminization, hirudotherapy. Since the tremor is sometimes hidden in the lack of trace elements, it shows a balanced diet, some patients are helped by homeopathy.

Classes in the gym with the right instructor LFK promotes the load of the right muscles, which allows you to remove the tremor. The techniques of snuselenotherapy, as well as the techniques of distraction, have an excellent effect on the hysteroid patients. With the alcoholic genesis of tremors, proven "digging out" is used, even fiz will help. Solution, and vitamins of group B are simply a panacea. In genetic diseases, pathogenetic treatment is used.
