Measurement of hand tremors

Hand and wrist tremors are rhythmic movement with oscillations of one or more body parts. Most common is the Parkinsonian tremor, that affects approximately 3.8 million people around the world. In Slovakia, 750 to 1,000 patients with Parkinson's disease are diagnosed annually. The purpose of this article is to describe the measurement of tremors using force measurement sensors. With frequent diagnostics, we can detect essential tremor (ET) in patients and apply appropriate treatment.
