GyroGlove
a glove designed to suppress hand tremors caused by Parkinson's disease
The GyroGlove seeks to restore quality of life and independence to those with tremors. The award winning concept is inspired by cutting edge aerospace technology, coupling spinning discs (gyroscopes) to the hand. These gyroscopes instantaneously and proportionally stabilise hand tremors. It feels as if one’s hand is moving in thick treacle – allowing smooth motion, yet resisting fine tremors.
