Steadiwear Spotlight - Jan Abrams Jan Abrams has been an active participant in Steadiwear’s Steadi-Two Early Adopter program. The Steadi-Two is an assistive device designed to reduce tremors for people with Parkinson’s disease and Essential tremor. Jan has found tremendous tremor relief while using the Steadi-Two.
