Glove-like device may counter parkinson-caused hand tremors

GyroGear, a medical device invention and development company currently based at Imperial College London, is developing an assistive device for Parkinson’s disease patients called the GyroGlove that is intended to stabilize and improve hand movement.


GyroGlove development is the current central focus of the GyroGear group, a development team of engineers, designers, and medics – students and graduates from Imperial College London – backed by professionals ranging from experts in musculoskeletal biodynamics to senior engineering professors, and from to clinicians and serial entrepreneurs. Based on a concept inspired by aerospace technology, GyroGlove attaches spinning discs (gyroscopes) to the hand, which stabilizes and dampens hand tremors by resisting the wearer’s involuntary movements.
