Welcome to hcm,
Elderly people having shaking is mostly due to Parkinson's disease other causes include thyroid overactity hypoglycemia.
But in your case I feel it is mostly due to parkinsonism.
Better to consult a neurologist to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment.
Hope this explains
With regards
