Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for your Aunt.
Apparently she is likely to be suffering from a neurological disorder referred to as Parkinson's disease which is characterized by tremors, gait disturbances, muscle rigidity and slowly progressive mental changes.
She needs to be examined by a neurologist for proper clinical examination and possible use of drugs like Levodopa+Carbidopa combination to relieve her symptoms.
Hope this answers your query.
