Hand tremors reducer

This is the proposed design for this challenge. The next device is a glove that will help to reduce hand tremors using polymeric materials that absorb much of the low amplitude vibrations due to its viscoelastic properties. The glove works as follows: the wristband (red and black) is constructed of a polymeric material reinforced elastomer for absorbing vibrations generated in the wrist; the outside of the wristband is attached to a solid structure while the inside of which will be attached to the wrist; this will allow the wrist vibrations be absorbed by the material from which the wristband is constructed. Furthermore, the presence of 5 thin tubes ranging from wrist to fingertips is observed; these elements are constructed of the same material of the wristband, and restrict the movement of the fingers once they are vibrating. For large movements tubes relent and allow the person to move their fingers freely, however, as submitted by involuntary movements of the fingers (hand tremors), the tubes will keep them in their original position. The glove can be adapted to any size hand and the wrist strap is adjustable with Velcro. Under this description is a video that exposes four types of materials: Silicone Sponge, Neoprene Sponge, and Poron Poron-4790-92-XRD. The Neoprene Sponge be used for the construction of the wristband and Poron-4790-92 for building pipes. The first one is to not unduly limiting the movement of the wrist of the person and avoid hurting the person, and the second one is to prevent the development of large swings by the fingers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCdN-i1GneE
