Flexible Shaft Tremor Cuff

04JUN: Added a half-cylinder, slotted tube model. Viscoelastic pads (red) could either be molded inserts or adhesive that is injected between the slots and cured. Springs can also be added. -------------------- Building on Dimov's idea of using springs, the following uses a flexible shaft (spring or slit shaft) with viscoelastic spacers (red) to dampen the tremor. The flex shaft would fit over the wrist like a bracelet and be attached to the hand and foreman. A spring would be able to flex and extend/retract, whereas the slit tube would tend to flex in predefined directions. The slit tube could also be applied in a partial circle configuration. Note: The flat wound spring would be particularly meaningful as the "Slinky" was developed by a navy engineer.
