Abstract:
A tremor suppression device includes a garment wearable on an anatomical region and including electrodes contacting the anatomical region when the garment is worn on the anatomical region, and an electronic controller configured to: detect electromyography (EMG) signals as a function of anatomical location and time using the electrodes; identify tremors as a function of anatomical location and time based on the EMG signals; and apply neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) at one or more anatomical locations as a function of time using the electrodes to suppress the identified tremors.
