3. Choose one of the standardized positions to
make a tremor measurement. The Tremipen®
provides you a 5 second countdown.
See chapter 4.1.1 for further information.
(These positions can be the rest tremor position,
the postural tremor position, the wing-beating tremor
position etc.).
4. After 5 seconds a beep tone sounds, the progress
bar appears and the measurement begins. For the
next 30 seconds, remain still in the chosen position;
no writing or moving activities are required.
5. After 30 seconds, another beep tone sounds, and
the measurement is over. The display shows the
measurement results; these results are also stored
within the Tremipen®.
6. After 30 seconds, the Tremipen® automatically
turns off and is ready for another measurement.
7. The Tremipen® can be manually shut down by
continuously pressing the ON button for 3 seconds
(this can be done during or after a measurement)
The following rules apply for all measurement positions:
1. The Tremipen® must be held with a loose grip, just
like a regular pen, so that no physiological tremor
can influence the actual tremor.
2. The thumb and index finger are positioned on
the grip recess, the middle finger supports the
Tremipen® from below.
3. The Tremipen®‘s end with the battery case has to
rest on the back of the hand.
4. The measurement position must be identical for all
measurements if results need to be compared.
5. Throughout the whole measurement process, you
shall not move the hand deliberately
