摘要:
Method and neuroprosthetic device for monitoring and suppression of pathological tremors in a user through the neurostimulation of the afferent pathways to the brain, which comprises wearable elements placed over the parts of the body affected by tremor, wherein said wearable elements (1) have bioelectric sensors (3) generating a first signal characterization of tremor, biomechanical sensors (4) generating a second signal characterization of tremor, a programmable electronic device (9) comprised of a control, acquisition and processing module of the first and second characterization signals, and a signal generator for the afferent stimulation based on the first and second signal characterization and stimulation electrodes (8) which transmit the neuromodulation signals to the afferent pathways projecting into the central nervous system to modulate the activity of the neural structures responsible for tremor generation.
