Tuned vibration absorber for suppression of rest tremor in Parkinson’s disease
Abstract
A simple approach for the suppression of the tremor associated with Parkinson's disease is presented. The proposed system is a tuned vibration absorber (TVA), which has been very effective in the suppression of vibrations in an experimental model of the human arm with two degrees of freedom. Theoretical and numerical methods were used to study the behaviour of the arm model and to develop an effective tremor reduction approach. Based on these studies, a vibration absorber was designed, tested numerically and fabricated for experimental testing. Experimental investigations indicated that optimum control performance was related to the position of the controller and the excitation frequency. With a distance of 160 mm from the end of forearm, the TVA was found to have the best performance, and, for different tremor frequencies, the vibration of the experimental model was reduced by more than 80%.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
