Normal aging often results in an increase in physiological tremors and slowing of the movement of the hands, which can impair daily activities and quality of life. This study, using lightweight wearable non-invasive sensors, aimed to detect and ident...
BACKGROUND: Essential tremor (ET) and dystonic tremor (DT) are the two most common tremor disorders, and misdiagnoses are very common due to similar tremor symptoms. In this study, we explore the structural network mechanisms of ET and DT using brain...

This article is about vibration-damping robotic eating devices designed for use by people who have difficulty in eating due to hand tremors due to neuromuscular system disorder. The robotic eating device has two degrees of freedom (DoF). It contains ...
BACKGROUND: Medically intractable Parkinson's disease (PD) tremor is a common difficult clinical situation with major impact on patient's quality of life (QOL). Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective therapy but is not an option for many patien...
Hand tremor is one of the dominating symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), which significantly limits activities of daily living. Along with medications, wearable devices have been proposed to suppress tremor. However, suppressing tremor without inte...

PURPOSE: Ophthalmic surgery involves the manipulation of micron-level sized structures such as the internal limiting membrane where tactile sensation is practically absent. All humans have physiologic tremors that are of low amplitude and not discern...
BACKGROUND: Microsurgery allows complex reconstruction of tissue defects after oncological resections or severe trauma. Performing these procedures may be limited by human tremor, precision, and manual dexterity. A new robot designed specifically for...
Teleoperation robot systems can help humans perform tasks in unstructured environments. However, non-intuitive control interfaces using only a keyboard or joystick and physiological tremor reduce the performance of teleoperation. This paper presents ...
