Action tremor was for a long time considered to be a defining symptom of multiple sclerosis. The Wilson films include a short segment showing a female patient suffering from relatively severe action tremor. Tremor is the most common movement disorder in multiple sclerosis, and can be very disabling in some patients. Insights into the frequency and treatment of tremor in multiple sclerosis have changed since the Wilson films were taken, and are reviewed herein. © 2011 Movement Disorder Society
