A novel passive hand tremor attenuator for Parkinson’s patients
The aim of this research is to introduce a novel tremor suppression device capable of attenuating both Parkinsonian and Essential tremors. The approach taken involves treating tremors as vibration challenges and applying the theory of a vibration absorber to design and optimize the novel device. Detailed analysis of vibration absorption is used to identify key parameters and relationships in suppressing unwanted vibrations. Moreover, the challenge of biofidelity of the human-arm model in both mathematical and computer modelling is shown to be significant in achieving a viable solution.
