Abstract
A pivotted four—bar chain mechanism has been studied and built as a feeding aid for Parkinson's patients. This system provides a good feeding path. Guidance is by means of a spring restrained sliding handle.
The tremor exhibited by three patients was established in constant force tests. Shake tests using simulated inputs spanning the frequency range indicated (2.5 Hz-6 Hz) established the vibration isolation properties of the system.
