A new gyroscopic glove that reduces tremors from Parkinson's Disease by 80 percent is currently in the prototype stage.
GyroGear will begin shipping the first gloves in 2017 for use by patients with a wide range of conditions that cause hand tremors.
The device works with an electric gyroscope mounted on the back of a fingerless glove. The gyroscope spins and the wearer's hand is held level, resisting tremors, but allowing for voluntary hand movement.
See gyrogear.co (not .com) for more information.
