Abstract:

This thesis sought to: 1) examine the effect of a number of organism and task constraints on the control of two forms of physiological tremor, namely postural and finger-pinch force tremor; and 2) determine if the expected constraint-related changes in tremor output were associated with alterations in the control strategy utilised by the performer. The organism constraints were age and resistance-training (for both forms of tremor), while the task constraints were visual feedback, target size and limb preference (postural tremor) and mean force, target shape and limb preference (force tremor)

O tremor essencial é uma das patologias mais comuns entre as patologias do sistema nervoso, sendo que é vista frequentemente pelos médicos neurologistas.

Abstract:

Although tremor is the most common movement disorder, there are few non-invasive treatment options. One of the obstacles to creating effective tremor suppression devices is our lack of understanding regarding where tremor originates (which muscles), how it propagates through the limb (to which degrees of freedom, DOF), and where it manifests most severely (which DOF). To investigate these questions, we created a simple, linear time-invariant model to simulate tremor, with tremorogenic muscle activity input (in the 15 major superficial muscles from the shoulder to the wrist) and joint displacem

Abstract:

Essential Tremor (ET), a condition characterized by postural and kinetic tremor in the upper limbs, is one of the most prevalent movement disorders. While pharmaceutical and surgical treatment options exist, they are not ideal. Assistive devices have the potential to provide relief to patients but are largely unexplored for ET. Furthermore, prior characterizations of essential tremor have focused on endpoint tremor and provide insufficient detail for designing such a device. We propose and demonstrate a novel method for characterizing essential tremor in the 7 proximal degrees of freedom (DO

Deep non-volcanic tremor is a newly discovered seismic phenomenon with low amplitude, long duration, and no clear P- and S-waves as compared with regular earthquake. Tremor has been observed at many major plate-boundary faults, providing new information about fault slip behaviors below the seismogenic zone. While tremor mostly occurs spontaneously (ambient tremor) or during episodic slow- slip events (SSEs), sometimes tremor can also be triggered during teleseismic waves of distance earthquakes, which is known as "triggered tremor".

Abstract:

Tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic movement of one or more body parts which prevents patients from performing activities of daily living (ADL), thereby greatly diminishing quality of life. Although there are various methods to suppress tremor, each is limited by either cost, ability to produce sufficient tremor suppression (TS) or interference with voluntary action. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has attracted significant research attention as a novel approach for TS, and has substantial potential advantage in terms of cost, convenience and size.

Although tremor is the most common movement disorder, there exist few effective tremor-suppressing devices, in part because the characteristics of tremor throughout the upper limb are unknown.

Abstract:

The origin of physiological tremor has been studied for many years. Several central and spinal mechanisms which provide an oscillatory input to the muscles have been proposed. Nevertheless, any neural control signal inevitably has to work upon a resonant peripheral system involving the series-coupled elastic muscle-tendon complex and the inertia of the limb. In this thesis I look into the potential role for mechanical resonance to explain tremor. First, I show that the resonant component of hand tremor depends on the velocity of hand movement.
