🌟 Exciting News! 🌟
We're thrilled to announce International Essential Tremor Foundation's latest blog post: "Move-D Stabilizes Tremors in Children and Adults"! 🎉
Inspired to improve the quality of life for children and adults with upper extremity tremors, Innovation Lab and Children’s Hospital of Orange County partnered with the University of California, Irvine to develop Move-D, a groundbreaking mechanical elbow brace.
Check out our latest Essential Tremor Virtual Education Event, where Dr. Sharief Taraman, M.D., CEO of Cognoa, shares the incredible story behind Move-D. This innovative device was born from the determination of a young boy named Dylan, who reached out for help in managing his essential tremor, ataxia, and cerebral palsy. Dylan's goal was simple yet profound: he wanted a device that would allow him to take a drink without spilling and play with his Legos.
Over the course of a year, Dylan collaborated with Dr. Taraman, biomedical engineering students, and an occupational therapist to bring Move-D to life. Their dedication and teamwork resulted in a device that meets Dylan’s needs and offers hope to many others.
Don’t miss out on this heartfelt story and learn more about the life-changing impact of Move-D. Read the full blog post and view the video here: https://essentialtremor.org/tremor-gram-july-2024/
