Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Diagnosed with essential tremor
  • 2\. Substantial perceived disability due to tremor in the arm, assessed from Bain and Findley ADL score (\>30\)
  • 3\. Tremor severity score \>13 on subset (ADL tasks and upper\-limb tasks) of the TETRAS scale
  • 4\. Dominant wrist flexion\-extension and forearm pronation\-supination tremor
  • 5\. Above 18 years old

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Dominant shoulder internal\-external rotation tremor
  • 2\. Dominant elbow flexion\-extension tremor
  • 3\. Excessive alcohol consumption, as defined in the Dutch GGZ guidelines on alcohol use
  • 4\. Previous or planned deep brain stimulation (DBS) at the time of study enrollment that interferes with testing
  • 5\. Previous or planned thalamotomy procedure, including stereotactic thalamotomy, gamma knife radio surgical thalamotomy, and focused ultrasound for the treatment of tremor at the time of study enrollment that interferes with testing
  • 6\. Change in medications related to tremor disorder in the 30 days prior to study enrollment
  • 7\. Swollen, infected, inflamed areas, or skin eruptions, open wounds, or cancerous lesions of skin on the forearm or hand that would interfere with wearing the orthosis during the clinical investigation
  • 8\. Peripheral neuropathy affecting the tested upper extremity (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome)
