Özet

Objective: Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder in the general population. Approximately, 90% of patients have upper extremity tremors. Patients with ET generally have a problem in motor control and some have serious problems in eating, drinking, writing, and other activities of daily living (ADL). Thus, ET may cause disability and self-care problems in their lives. Recent studies showed that ADL was impaired in 73% of patients. This study aimed to determine the effects of disability and self-care agency on ADL in patients with ET.
