He believes more and more people will require this glove in the future. Other medical conditions that cause essential hand tremors and are strokes, hyperthyroidism, and sclerosis.

Improving the quality of life of patients

There are over 10 million people across the world with Parkinson’s Disease. This is a neurological disorder that progresses with time. It affects an individual’s cognitive ability, and its prevalent symptoms are tremors, especially in the hands of the person. What begins as light tremors graduates to the shaking of the hands that affect the daily chores of the person.

As mentioned above, these tremors have no cure, and the only way to counter them is by taking medicines in the form of drugs, but that too for a limited time. Often the effects of these drugs wear off after prolonged use, and after that, there is no cure for these hand tremors.

The GyroGloves serves to improve the quality of life in patients with them. They no longer need to take medications with side effects that could lead to disturbances in their gait, nausea, involuntary mood changes, and compulsive behavior.
