The ARC special pen allows Parkinson patients to write beautifully hand calligraphed



Under the Anti-Shake technology generally apply only to high-end professional camera or cell phone camera, then it has other uses it? Royal College of Art and Imperial College researchers are holding a positive attitude. They successfully used a similar technique to improve the writing skills of Parkinson's patients. 

  It is understood that, in addition to Parkinson's patients will be hand tremors and shaking, but also prone to writing is too small, the problem of illegible handwriting, which they tend to live for more than a little trouble. Some even give up to write. To address this issue, ARC special pen with built several dither motor to counteract irregularities tremor caused by hand movement, and can stimulate the key writing hand muscles improve accuracy. 

  Test the most telling question: According to statistics, 93 percent of Parkinson's patients using a special pen to write ARC written font larger than in the past a lot easier to identify, more surprisingly, this pen opponent muscles flexible degree also improved effect - after the pen off the power, flexibility hand muscles can still maintain a high level of up to 10 minutes, which helps Parkinson's patients completed a number of other more complex work. 

  Currently researchers are constantly trying to optimize its design and mass production allowed.We have reason to expect (such as image stabilization, spoons, chopsticks, etc.), there will be some degree of improvement in the daily lives of Parkinson's patients after a similar anti-shake technology is to further expand the scope of application. This is the charm of science and technology.
