A glove with a built-in spinning gyroscope

A glove with a built-in spinning gyroscope developed by a U.K. startup could help people with Parkinson's disease and essential tremor (ET) regain control of their hands and overcome their often debilitating tremors. Both conditions are nervous system disorders that affect over 200 million people worldwide and can cause patients' hands to shake so much that everyday tasks such as eating and drinking become difficult or impossible. GyroGear's solution, according to Gordon McCabe, GyroGear development manager, is to mount a gyroscope on the back of the hand which, much like a spinning top that will always stay upright as long as it's spinning, makes your hand stay level while the flywheel is spinning.  || Joon Faii Ong ||
