Research on Arm Movement Aided Electronic System for Parkinson's Patients

Parkinson's patients have different degrees of dyskinesia due to the controlling ability decrease of the brain to muscles, their typical symptoms are static tremors. A movement aided electronic system was designed in this paper, it can assist patients' arm movements to restrain the tremor. Feed-forward control and band limited multiple Fourier Linear Combiner Algorithm were adopted. The experiment results showed that the system could initially realize the function of arm movement to relieve the tremor, which had certain effect to improve the life quality of Parkinson's patients.
