“…Further performance improvement can be achieved by personalizing the device according to the frequency of the tremor. Faizan et al, developed a passive bracelet-type device [ 31 ] that comprised a dual-parallel configuration passive vibration absorber. Their theoretical evaluation revealed that the device reduced the amplitude of angular motion of the wrist by 57.25%.…”

“…Many studies have focused on DBS [ 26 , 27 ], EMS [ 28 , 29 ], and orthoses for tremor suppression [ 30 , 31 ]. There has been remarkable progress in alleviating tremors using DBS.…”

“…EMS also comprises a closed-loop system that detects tremors and stimulates them accordingly and is effective in suppressing tremors [ 28 , 29 ]. Another approach encompasses tremor suppression using orthosis [ 30 , 31 ]. A common method is to estimate the tremor and apply a reverse cancellation signal.…”

Background: Parkinsonian tremors are sometimes confused with essential tremors or other conditions. Recently, researchers conducted several studies on tremor evaluation using wearable sensors and devices, which may support accurate diagnosis. Mechanical devices are also commonly used to treat tremors and have been actively researched and developed. Here, we aimed to review recent progress and the efficacy of the devices related to Parkinsonian tremors. Methods: The PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for articles. We searched for “Parkinson disease” and “tremor” and “device”. Results: Eighty-six articles were selected by our systematic approach. Many studies demonstrated that the diagnosis and evaluation of tremors in patients with PD can be done accurately by machine learning algorithms. Mechanical devices for tremor suppression include deep brain stimulation (DBS), electrical muscle stimulation, and orthosis. In recent years, adaptive DBS and optimization of stimulation parameters have been studied to further improve treatment efficacy. Conclusions: Due to developments using state-of-the-art techniques, effectiveness in diagnosing and evaluating tremor and suppressing it using these devices is satisfactorily high in many studies. However, other than DBS, no devices are in practical use. To acquire high-level evidence, large-scale studies and randomized controlled trials are needed for these devices.

The most frequent movement disorder is Tremor, which has an increased incidence and prevalence in people over 65 who have Parkinson's disease or essential tremors. Although not life-threatening, it prevents patients from performing their daily activities. An overview of different types of tremors and their treatment in medical and surgical views are discussed in this paper with a review of the stimulation nerves and muscles technique. Then a look at tremor detection and measurement methods are considered with a review of the medical devices' mechanism of action that is placed as a substitute treatment for patients that have a low response to medications and surgical treatment to provide effective and safe tremor suppression.

“…Tremor reduction has been the subject of several researches. Since pharmacological treatments which use levodopa/ carbidopa, dopamine agonists and anticholinergic agents reduce the tremor partially [4], other solutions such as technological-based tremor suppression devices have been proposed that use mechanical damping [5] or electrical stimulation techniques [6] for suppressing tremors in PD patients. Besides the technological advancements, studies have reported the effectiveness of exercises on tremor reduction.…”
