Synergetic reducer of the tremor amplitude

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

Known DRIFTS Project Report [1] (Dynamically Responsive Intervention For Tremor Suppression) offers several ways to reduce tremor by external mechanical devices:
- Orthosis Support Structure providing force effect on skin pressure receptors;
- Absorption of tremor vibration energy through dissipation:
- Decrease in the amplitude of oscillations by increasing the weight:
- Elastic resistance to deviation of the wrist from the physiologically neutral position.
In this application, the author tried to combine all of these devices in one
Device comprises a several chambers made of flexible airtight fabric. For example, there are three cameras in real device there may be more. In each chamber using a funnel can be covered with a certain amount of filler. The chamber can be left blank. Fillers: polystyrene granules, sand, metal powder or granules or mixtures thereof.
The result: an increase in weight, the dissipation of tremor energy by filling.
The each chamber may be evacuated by the air pump, a vacuum cleaner or syringe. Chambers hell impacts hand creating pressure and support structure.
By pressing on the valve sideways air enters the chamber and the shell straightened.
By varying the amount of filler and the vacuum device precise adjustment of the patient's hand. Extras Velcro fastener can be used Velcro fastener.
