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...
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.
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)
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...
