Tremor is defined as a rhythmic, involuntary oscillatory movement of a body part. Although
everyone exhibits a certain degree of tremor, some pathologies lead to very disabling …

Introduction Tremor is the most common movement disorder, affecting 5.6% of the
population with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor over the age of 65. Conventionally …

Exoskeletons are mechatronic systems worn by a person in such a way that the physical
interface permits a direct transfer of mechanical power and exchange of information. Upper …

This paper explores the design methodology and effectiveness of small-scale
magnetorheological dampers (MRDs) in applications that require variable damping …

The new technological advances opened widely the application field of robots. Robots are
moving from the classical application scenario with structured industrial environments and …

Objective: Approximately 25% of individualsliving with parkinsonian tremor do not respond
to traditional treatments. Wearable tremor suppression devices (WTSD) provide an …
