Tremors are a symptom of several disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). Exoskeletons have been investigated as noninvasive tremor suppression alternatives to medication and surgery. The challenge in musculoskeletal tremor suppression is attenuation of tremor motion without impeding the patient’s voluntary motion. Linear low-pass filters (LPFs) are commonly used for tremor removal. This study presents an alternative method based on an adaptive filter. We compare the effectiveness of the LPFs and adaptive filter on the recorded acceleration signals from an online database.
