Abstract:
A firm-contact apparel prosthesis and method for tremor suppression for applying a consistent and constant pressure around the entire circumference of a part of the body. The prosthesis is made of a band of elastic material that is continuous and firm, or may be made of an article of clothing having one or more bands integrally formed in the article of clothing. Multiple prosthetics may be used at the same time. The method of tremor suppression requires the steps of applying pressure evenly and circumferentially about a part of the body, for extended periods of time or for intervals of time.
