Abstract

Essential tremor is a disorder that causes involuntary oscillations in patients both while they are engaged in actions and when maintaining a posture. Such patients face serious difficulties in performing such daily living activities as eating, drinking, and writing. We have been developing an electromyogram-controlled exoskeleton to suppress tremors and support the eating movements of these patients. This exoskeleton is designed to suppress tremors and support voluntary movement at the elbow in terms of flexion and extension: movement of the elbow is essential in eating movements. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of our prototype exoskeleton at suppressing tremors. Our goal was to answer two questions: To what extent are the oscillations suppressed when wearing the exoskeleton? Is the exoskeleton able to suppress the oscillations sufficiently to allow eating movements? We were able to confirm experimentally that our exoskeleton can effectively suppress tremors to support eating movements.

  • The Fujie exoskeleton reduced tremor by 50-80% compared to not wearing the exoskeleton when intention recognition was simulated with a switch triggered by an essential tremor patient.

    “Instead, they tested the tremor suppression simulating this recognition with a switch triggered by an ET patient (56), obtaining that the tremor was reduced by 50–80% compared to not wearing the exoskeleton.”

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.
