Parkinson's disease is one of the most prevalent motor disorders in the world . The disease is progressive and has no known treatment. In addition to a number of psychological and autonomic issues, the disease also cause movement abnormalities which are the most challenging problem because management is still limited by medication or traditional physiotherapy the most effective way to treat symptoms is through an interprofessional new modalities as sensory stimulation , this study will be the first of its type to measure the effect of sensory stimulation on static tremors. Also, this study is the first of its type to make a continues treatment protocol for patient with static tremors.
SO the purpose of these study will To investigate the effect of sensory electrical stimulation on resting tremors in Parkinson's patients.

| triaxial gyrosensor (accelerator) | Three-dimensional angular motion will measured at the index finger of the more affected hand, by using triaxial gyrosensor (STM32L151, STMicroelectronics, ). The gyrosensor will embedded in an elastic band and attached on the dorsum of proximal phalanx | 3 weeks |
| Fahn-tolosa- marin clinical rating scale | Fahn_tolosa_marin clinical rating scale( FTM) is avalid scale for asses hand tremor, it consist of two items related to the hand , 1_trmors 2_hand writing The score is form 0 to 4 , 0 mean no tremors , 4 means severe tremors | 3 weeks |

| sensory electrical stimulation | Other | The stimulated muscles included the flexor carpi radialis (FCR), extensor carpi radialis (ECR), and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU). Rectangular surface electrodes (Ag/AgCl; 50mm _ 50mm size) were attached on the motor point of each muscle, i.e., at four fingerbreadths from biceps tendon of FCR, at two fingerbreadths distal from lateral epicondyle for the ECR, at two fingerbreadths volar to ulna at the junction of the upper and middle thirds of the forearm for FCU.14 Portable stimulators will use with the following stimulation settings: constant current (0.2 mA step), 100 Hz stimulation frequency, biphasic pulse, and 300 _s pulsewidth. |
