Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Tremors may have many causes, but in context of palsy and difficulties in standing causes related to brain are more important. This may be stroke, Parkinsonism or Parkinson's plus syndrome or rarely brain tumours with difficulty in standing and walking, Parkinson is a possibility. So I would suggest you should take her to a neurologist on priority basis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
