Abstract Background Orthostatic tremor (OT) is characterized by tremor in orthostatism. Primary OT is characterized by a high-frequency tremor at surface EMG recording and assumed to be idiopathic, whereas slow-frequency OT is classically associated with neurological pathologies. We report here a retrospective monocentric cohort study of primary (fast OT) and pseudo-OT (slow OT) patients to describe associated neurological and non-neurological co-morbidities. Methods Between November 2014 and October 2019, 27 patients with OT were selected from the EMG database of the Department of Clinical Physiology in Lariboisière’ s hospital. Patients were classified in primary OT if tremor frequency was ≥ 13 Hz and in pseudo-OT if tremor frequency was
