Abstract		We developed sensors for measurement of the angle of joint deflection in tremor type joint movements. Two hand tremor measuring configurations that measure hand tremor amplitude with reference to the joint involved in tremor movement were evaluated. The shape of tremor sensors could be adapted to fit the contour of a specific joint. This modification did not degrade the sensors sensitivity or dynamic range. We conclude that this method reduces between-subjects and within-subject variability of hand tremor measurements and also locates the hand muscle groups that are. most active in tremor movement thus enabling their local treatment.
