Viscous damping of tremor using a wearable robot with an optimized mechanical metamaterial.
Article in Wearable technologies, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pathological tremors can often be debilitating to activities of daily living and significantly affect the quality of life. Such tremulous movements are commonly observed in wrist flexion-extension (FE). To suppress this tremor we present a wearable robot (WR) with a customized mechanical metamaterial (MM) as the physical human-robot interface (pHRI). The MM is optimized to conform to the user's wrist posture and follow the hand's Cartesian trajectory. This is done to minimize the shear between the pHRI and the user's skin and consequently improve wearability. This WR is then used to effect a viscous tremor suppression using the velocity of the user's wrist FE. We present a model for the interaction between the WR and the user with which we develop the viscous damping approach for tremor. This is then evaluated in simulation and using a dedicated test bed. This tremor suppression approach demonstrates an attenuation of 20-30 dB at various tremulous frequencies resulting in significantly lower tremor amplitudes due to the viscous damping.
