The hand stabilizing glove allows those with handicapping tremors to once again work in the kitchen, sew, play musical instruments, and once again precisely move their hands and fingers. The device is not yet FDA cleared or approved and it is currently very pricey.  Each glove is $5900 on sale.  Hopefully, these gloves will pass the necessary clinical tests and be covered by health insurance…..someday soon. https://www.ces.tech/innovation-awards/honorees/2024/honorees/g/gyroglove.aspx #gyroglove #gyrogear #gyroscope #tremors #parkinsons #ms #
