Intelligent glove for suppression of resting tremor in parkinson’s disease
One of the significant symptoms in Parkinson’s disease is resting tremor. Resting tremor occurs when the muscle is relaxed, causing the limb to shake. Rhythmic muscle movement of the patients commonly happens within the range of 4 Hz to 6 Hz. Thus, reducing this type of tremor will help improve p...

| Summary: | One of the significant symptoms in Parkinson’s disease is resting tremor. Resting
tremor occurs when the muscle is relaxed, causing the limb to shake. Rhythmic muscle movement
of the patients commonly happens within the range of 4 Hz to 6 Hz. Thus, reducing this type of
tremor will help improve patients’ quality of life. In this paper, to suppress resting tremors, an
intelligent glove was designed utilizing the concepts of vibrations and gyro effect. A rotating brass
disc attached to the glove creates a gyroscopic effect of the smart glove. Therefore, the disc will
do their utmost to stay upright and counter any input forces instantaneously by providing the
counterforce. A reduction of more than 50 % with the intelligent glove is also shown. |
