A tremor is a slight unconscious movement, usually shaking. A good example is when you haven’t eaten and your blood sugar drops and you extend your hand.

A spasm is a strong unconscious movement that is short, think of the jumping feeling when you feel like you are falling in bed. Or if I hit your knee tendon and you kick.

‘Twitching’ is something that has multiple definitions since it is a bit more subjective. Perhaps you mean multiple spasms? This can happen in a grand mal seizure.

I hope this helps!
