What is the difference between a twitch and a tremor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Twitch v tremor: A twitch is normally a single movement, sometimes involving part of a muscle. It may be a local event, not related to the brain. A tremor is a repetitive, often continuous movement, typically involving multiple muscles, and it is driven by subconscious commands from the brain.
