Lewy Body Dementia - Parkinsons ugly stepsister. There is a characteristic shake, at least in my experience that comes with LBD.

The loss of fine motor skills comes from both it and Alzheimers. My old man was involved in a Johns Hopkins study, we actually had him zipped up in a gurney while still warm and off. Ultimately his autopsy showed his brain had evidence of both Alz and LBD to the point that they couldnt establish which one was worse had ultimately caused his death, but they impact different parts of the brain.
