A SIMPLE METHOD OF MEASURING TREMOR USING A VARIABLE-CAPACITANCE TRANSDUCER

A simple, inexpensive method of recording tremor, using a variable-capacitance transducer, is described. Technical details of the transducer are given, along with examples of tremor traces illustrating the transducer's ability to monitor parkinsonian patients during drug therapy.
