Characterization of Upper-Limb Pathological Tremors: Application to Design of an Augmented Haptic Rehabilitation System.

In this paper, an adaptive filtering technique is proposed to estimate and characterize pathological tremors caused by Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Essential Tremor (ET). The technique is based on the formulation of band-limited multiple Fourier Linear Combiners (BMFLC) and is called Enhanced-BMFLC (E-BMFLC). The effectiveness of the designed filter is statistically evaluated through a clinical st...
