Gyroscope Glove Looks to Ease Parkinson’s Tremors #WearableWednesday
McKnights Senior Living shares how a wearable, the GyroGlove, intends to ease hand tremors in those diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
Hand tremors are one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
But a new device prototype makes use of gyroscope technology to help restore muscle control to users.
The so-called GyroGlove, showcased at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, could dramatically improve quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s, approximately a quarter of whom live in nursing homes and assisted living communities.
