Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
The three considered modalities were force-controlling (orthoses and functional electrical stimulation)...
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
Orthoses are presented as force-controlling noninvasive technologies for suppressing pathological tremor. The abstract groups them with other patient-friendly tremor management approaches.; noninvasive tremor management; force-controlling tremor suppression

Central neuromodulation produced moderate effects for pathological tremor suppression.
Force-controlling strategies showed promising acute effects but their clinical translation remains limited by poor wearability and muscle fatigue.
Peripheral neuromodulation has gained clinical traction and several devices are now commercially available.
