Tremor Retrainer Software Application for Functional Tremor

Description

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the Tremor Retrainer smartphone application and Simplified Functional Movement Disorder Rating Scale in patients with functional tremor. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Is the Tremor Retrainer application usable for patients and are there signs that it can help functional tremor? 2. Can a televideo administration of the Simplified Functional Movement Disorder Rating Scale give enough information to use this scale via televideo in future studies?
