Abstract:
Limb tremor is treated with either medication or surgery, both of which may have adverse effects. This paper presents two passive devices for tremor attenuation: One for attenuating pronation/supination tremor of the forearm using a dynamic vibration absorber, and the other for attenuating flexion/extension tremor of the hand using a rotational damper.
