SUMMARY The interference of upper limb intention tremor on activities of daily living was described in 32 persons with multiple sclerosis. Ratings about their degree of impairment and disability (Functional Systems, Expanded Disability Status Scale, Functional Independence Measure) was obtained from the multidisciplinary rehabilitation team. The individuals were interviewed using a questionnaire, mainly based on the items of the FIM scale, about the interference of tremor during activities of daily life. Intention tremor is rarely an isolated symptom. It is extremely disabling and was reported to interfere the most with activities of daily life such as eating, drinking, grooming and dressing. A variety of aids and strategies to compensate for specific disabilities were reported reflecting the important counseling role of the occupational therapist in assisting persons to cope more effectively with tremor.
