Intention Tremor

Tips from survivors: “Moving slowly and supporting my arm helps steady the shake.”

A tremor that occurs during purposeful movement.

Shaking that becomes more noticeable when reaching for or trying to touch something, such as picking up a cup or pressing a button.

Stroke affects the cerebellum or its pathways, which help coordinate precise movements.

Physical or occupational therapy, coordination exercises, and adaptive tools for daily tasks.

Less common than weakness or spasticity, but seen in strokes involving the cerebellum.
