Medical - Medical (general) / medical report for court
English term or phrase: shakiness
Shock and shakiness. Immediately after the accident, mr xxx experienced shock and shakiness.

As this is described in a medical report, I wondered what the proper medical translation would be. It can't be tremors as this is referred to elsewhere in the report.

Explanation:
De opties in Pinkhof Medisch Engels zijn onvastheid, wankelheid, onzekerheid. Waarschijnlijk stond deze meneer na het ongeluk wankel op zijn benen, klopt dat met de context?

Reference: shakiness and emotional shock

Reference information:
'shock and shakiness' (en 'fear of travel/anxiety') schijnt een specifieke verzekeringscategorie in de context van 'personal injury' te zijn: https://www.gosolicitors.com/personal-injury-cases/

'shock' verwijst daarbij niet naar een shock in medische zin (door bloedverlies, hartinfarct, etc.) maar naar een toestand van emotionele schock.

Die 'shakiness' moet dan in combinatie met/in de context van die emotionele schock worden geïnterpreteerd.

Developed shock and shakiness after the accident. He stated that it resolved after 1 day.

Travel Anxiety
Travel anxiety is due to the psychological trauma caused by the accident. It is currently causing moderate disability.

The body’s response – Shock

Shock is a natural reaction for one to experience in an accident, so the first step of dealing with the situation and attempting to think clearly is tackling that. When a body is responding to emotional shock, cortisol is released into the bloodstream which can blur clear judgement and cause the victim to make rash decisions. When in shock, a person may experience shakiness, confusion and rising blood pressure, which are all factors that may impact the future outcome of a car accident.

How to Get Rid of Shock After a Car Crash

After a car crash you may feel very shaken up. It doesn't matter if you are uninjured--you may still feel strange and will be in some degree of emotional shock. This happens because your body responds to traumatic experiences by releasing a flood of adrenaline and cortisol. The muscles are on high-alert, ready to fight or flee the perceived danger. Your blood pressure soars and heart rate accelerates. These responses to frightening situations, while beneficial when we're faced with real threats, can leave lingering negative side-effects. Shakiness, digestive upset, mental fog and muscle soreness are among the many symptoms you may experience even after minor car crashes. There are several steps you can take to get rid of these and other symptoms of shock more quickly after a car crash or other traumatic event.

Anyone who’s ever been in a car accident is familiar with the feelings that come immediately after – shock, shakiness, accelerated heart rate and mental fog. This is how the body responds after a traumatizing event. With so many thoughts racing through your mind, it’s no wonder the details might be blurry in a matter of hours or days after the car accident.

•Leave yourself a voice mail. If you’re too shaky to write things down, or perhaps you don’t have a pen and paper handy, call your own cell phone and leave a message with as many details as possible. You can always refer back to the message to remember the small details you might have forgotten.

Ik zit te denken aan 'beven/trillen over het hele lichaam', maar wat daar het beste term voor is in de gegeven context...

shock and shakiness - emotionele shock en ongecontroleerd trillen ?

Asker: Ik denk dat shock en shakiness in die zin (bijv. na een aanrijding met de auto zonder ernstig letsel) meer te maken heeft dat men erg geschrokken is en op de benen staat te trillen.

  -> 'emotionele shock en ongecontroleerd trillen' lijkt me in ieder geval in de acute fase een reële optie, wat dan afhankelijk van diverse factoren korter of langer kan aanhouden.
