A complete guide to Assistive devices for hand tremors

Wearables 

Weighted Wearables

The Readi-Steadi glove is a wrist weight that allegedly reduces tremor by 50%. Research has shown that weighted objects have limited effects on tremor and tent to cause wrist strain.

Smart wearables: 

Steadi-Two

The Steadi-Two is a ground-breaking glove designed to significantly reduce hand tremors. The device weighs under 1lb and targets wrist tremors. Testing has shown 85% tremor reduction in daily living activities in 70% of testers. The price is $649 USD. 

Tremelo

Tremelo is a non-invasive device designed to reduce tremor severity. It provides benefits in 1 out of 3 tremor patients. The device weights 1.4 lbs targets arm tremors and not wrist tremors. The price is $749 USD.

The Cala Trio neuromodulation device is a treatment option for tremor-related conditions. The device is worn on the wrist and sends electrical signals to the brain in order to modulate tremors. The device has been shown to significantly reduce tremors in patients. It is a prescription only device that can be used for 1 hour/day. The price is $5000 USD. 

Utensils

Weighted Utensils

Weighted Utensils are one type of assistive device that can be used to help with tremors. The extra weight on the utensil helps to stabilize it, making it easier to use. Weighted utensils are available for a variety of tasks, including eating, writing, and grooming. Research has shown that they have limited effects on tremor and cause wrist strain.
