Summary

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that leads to uncontrollable shaking (tremor), which can substantially impair everyday activities. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the STIL Orthosis works as a treatment option for tremor in people with Parkinson's disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the STIL Orthosis reduce tremor?
* Are users satisfied with the usability and comfort of the STIL Orthosis?
* Does the STIL Orthosis have any adverse effects?

Participants' tremor will be measured during three conditions:

* While wearing the STIL Orthosis
* While wearing an orthosis without dampening (sham)
* While wearing no orthosis (baseline)

Researchers will compare the severity of tremor while wearing the STIL Orthosis against tremor during sham and baseline.

Conditions

  • Parkinson&Amp;#39;s Disease
  • Action Tremor

Interventions

DEVICE

STIL Orthosis

STIL Orthosis, a brace for the arm equipped with passive dampening designed to suppress high-frequency movements.

DEVICE

Sham

A version of the STIL Orthosis that is visually indistinguishable from original, but which does not have the passive dampening mechanism.
