Suitability & Daily
Use
Our clinical research with people who have essential tremor shows that the Stil Hand Control™ works best for tremors that mainly affect the forearm and hand. For other conditions that cause tremors, like Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, or multiple sclerosis, results can vary, but have been postive and encouraging.
Weighing just 350 grams, the Stil Hand Control™ is light enough to wear comfortably for extended periods throughout the day. We recommend a maximum of 5 hours of daily use giving you reliable support exactly when you need it most.
The Stil Hand Control™ can be worn discreetly under loose clothing or over your outfit, whichever feels most comfortable for you.
The Stil Hand Control™ is specially designed for shaky hands. The clips feature magnets, making them easy to close. In just three simple steps, the orthosis can be put on and taken off, taking regular users no more than 30 seconds.
