The thirteenth-century medieval scribe, the ‘Tremulous Hand of Worcester’ is known for the tremor visible in his script. Thorpe & Alty combine historical analysis with the first neurological study of the scribe’s handwriting. After considering various differential diagnoses, they conclude that the balance of evidence favours essential tremor.
13世纪的中世纪抄写员“伍斯特的颤抖之手”因其笔迹中明显可见的颤抖而闻名。索普和阿尔蒂将历史分析与对该抄写员笔迹的首次神经学研究结合起来。在考虑了各种鉴别诊断后,他们得出结论,证据平衡支持特发性震颤。
