PROBLEM
DEFINITION
The purpose of this project is to design and manufacture a prototype of a versatile stabilizing handle for
Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremor patients. Certain environment-friendly criteria have been
imposed due to sustainability concerns and the ergonomics of the product have been considered as
much as possible as it is mostly targeted towards people in geriatric care.
