Note. Values are reported as mean and standard deviation (SD). TETRAS-ADL: The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale-Activities of Daily Living Subscale; kg: kilograms; m: meter; MMSE: Mini-Mental State Exam, TMT: Trails-Making Testing; ABC: Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale; FES: Fall Efficacy Scale; F: fall history; NF: no fall history. Bold values indicate differences between essential tremor and non-essential tremor groups.
