Five years ago I built a simple machine to give forced exercise to the arms. I posted on this at:
Forced exercise of the arms
The results for me were mixed: bradykinesia down, tremor up. Note it wasn't a double blind test, so there's a lot of opportunity for the placebo effect to play a part.

That is a fascinating thread, John. I have wondered if doing high-cadence cycling as interval training would be helpful for folks who cannot keep cycling continuously for 1.5 hours -- changing state every 2 minutes, for example, 2 mins on, 2 mins off, or something similar. If you alternate between intense cycling and rest, you are stressing your mitochondria that much less, which could mitigate the tremor. Just a thought! Thanks for sharing that thread, I'll be re-reading it.
