: : : Hello! To all my fellow "C.S.I: Crime Scene Investigators"-watchers,
a question......Recently Grissom (or Caine?) asked a suspect with
trembling hands if the reason was an "intention tremor". Could someone
explain this condition? I have been unable to find any explanation
on my own. Is it just another name for "the shakes", from being
hauled in for questioning?
: : : Thanks in advance,

: It's a term used in neurological medicine. It describes a tremor
which takes place when someone tries to make a deliberate, precise,
movement, such as touching the nose. This nose touching is often
used to detect such tremors. The tremors themselves are common in
Parkinson's disease but not exclusive to it.
