Abstract: Tremor is a small, rhythmic shaking movement that occurs in a back-and-forth pattern. Everyone has a small, sometimes undetectable, shake when they move their hands. Fatigue, stress, feelings of anger or fear, caffeine, and smoking can make this normal shaking more obvious. Hand tremor can occur at any age but most commonly occurs in middle-aged and older men and women. In the present investigation, a light-weight ring using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thick films as piezoelectric transducer, were fabricated and tested for monitoring Hand Tremors under voluntary human tremor modes.


Keywords: PVDF, Piezo-ring, Hand tremor.
