Frequently Asked Questions for Clinicians

---

 Patients whose hand tremors interfere with activities of daily living may be appropriate candidates. Common diagnoses include:

• Parkinson's disease 
• Essential Tremor 
• Other neurologic conditions that cause action or resting tremors 

A clinical evaluation helps determine whether the device provides meaningful functional improvement.

 No. The GyroGlove does not treat the underlying disease or slow disease progression. It is an assistive device intended to reduce functional limitations caused by hand tremors. 

 Many patients experience improved performance during activities such as:

• Eating and drinking 
• Writing 
• Grooming 
• Computer use 
• Dressing 
• Holding objects more steadily 

Results vary by patient.

Patients who:

• Have upper-extremity tremors 
• Remain motivated to perform daily activities 
• Demonstrate measurable improvement during evaluation 
• Have sufficient cognition to operate the device safelydd an answer to this item.

 Patients whose primary limitation is weakness, severe rigidity, spasticity, significant cognitive impairment, or conditions where tremor is not the primary functional deficit may receive less benefit. Add an answer to this item.

The best predictor is an in-person evaluation comparing functional tasks performed with and without the GyroGlove. 

After a successful evaluation, your office can submit the required prescription or authorization documentation. Our team helps coordinate the process. 

Most evaluations can be completed in approximately 30–60 minutes and include standardized functional tasks performed with and without the device.
