Development of a Soft Exosuit for Suppressing Essential Tremor
IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics, 2021 Essential tremor, the most common pathological tremor, is assumed to originate in the central nervous system. It can result in functional disability because the tremors obstruct movement. We have developed a soft exosuit to assist essential tremor patients that provides a comfortable, unobtrusive and soft interface to the human body, and evaluated ...
