A weighted wrist cuff.

S R Dahlin-Webb.   

Abstract

These weighted cuffs have been used successfully by three multiple sclerosis patients to decrease upper extremity tremors and thus facilitate independent fine coordination activity. We have also used the cuffs with a brain-injured patient to decrease tremors and increase proprioception. With all these patients, working fasteners during dressing and eating were easier tasks when the cuffs were worn.
