Actuator for a wrist tremor suppression sleeve/exoskelet
Yes, we have and this is absolutely an option as a semi active system, but we were looking for actuators for a fully active system that can deliver real counterforces. Btw for if we decide to go for a semi active system, do you have any idea where we could buy these MR dampers? Because at the...- MattiasVDB

Actuator for a wrist tremor suppression sleeve/exoskelet
At this moment we don't have any drawings yet, sorry about that. The movement needed is the whole movement a grown up can do with his wrist. And we don't have any measurements yet of the forces, but you can make a guess by seeing how you would move your wrist when you fake a tremor.- MattiasVDB

Actuator for a wrist tremor suppression sleeve/exoskelet
It's not really similar to a contracting blood pressure monitoring sleeve. It needs to be able to give a moment force arround the wirst joint in both vertical and horizontal direction (but we can install multiple actuators, so per actuator only one of those moment forces are needed)- MattiasVDB

Actuator for a wrist tremor suppression sleeve/exoskelet
Hey everyone, We are currently working on a project to make a kind of sleeve that can suppress a big part of the wrist tremor that Parkinson patients or people with other diseases have. We are trying to decide to make this a partially active system, with only adjustable damping, or a fully...- MattiasVDB
