Tremor is a common movement disorder characterized by involuntary, rhythmic muscle contractions that lead to shaking movements in one or more parts of the body. It is most commonly seen in the handsThe impact of a tremor on an individual's life can be significant. It can interfere with daily activities like writing, drinking, eating, or using a phone or computer. This not only affects physical abilities but can also have emotional and social repercussions. People with tremors may experience frustration, embarrassment, and even social isolation due to the challenges they face.There are various types of tremors, each with its own characteristics and causesTraditional treatment options include medications such as beta-blockers or antiepileptic drugs for essential tremors, and Parkinson's disease treatments often involve dopamine-enhancing drugs. In more severe cases, surgical interventions like deep brain stimulation are considered.However, we will talk about SteadiWear. A company that is at the forefront of an innovative approach to managing these tremors.
