Orthosis to reduce essential tremor

[EN] The Institute of Biomechanics (IBV) coordinated the technical development of an orthesis to reduce essential tremor. The Valencian company EMO coordinated this European project called TREMEND. Furthermore, the companies Cultraro and OKO Solution, the research centre ISRI and the Neurology Service of Hospital General Universitario de Valencia collaborated in this project. The results show that the orthosis is effective and it reduces essential tremor in the wrist about 30 %, allowing affected people increase their degree of independence.
