Tremor Trial Summary
This trial will focus on using ultrasound imaging to help detect, characterize, and differentiate tremors from voluntary hand motion in order to help design future functional electrical stimulation (FES)-based tremor-suppression techniques.

The tremor should not be caused by anxiety, stress, cold temperature, or fatigue. We will give you time to relax before the test to help reduce these factors.You have existing nerve or brain disorders.I have been diagnosed with essential tremor by a specialist.I am not taking any medications that affect muscle and nerve communication.I currently have an infection in my arm.You must have noticeable shaking, as confirmed by a doctor who specializes in movement disorders.You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease using specific criteria from the UK Parkinson's Disease Brain Bank.
