GyroGlove Use in Essential Tremor Patients

The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS) composite outcome score is the sum of modified items 2, 3, 6 & 8 of the TETRAS-ADL (Activities of Daily Living) subscale and modified items 6 - 7 of the TETRAS-PS (performance subscale). The TETRAS-ADL subscale is a patient-rated scale administered by a trained interviewer that assesses the impact of tremor on day-to-day functioning, such as feeding with a spoon, drinking from a glass, pouring, using keys etc. The TETARS-PS is a clinical rating scale that quantifies tremor in the head, face, voice, limbs and trunk. Items 6 (drawing an Archimedes spiral) and 7 (handwriting) of the TETRAS-PS evaluate the impact of upper limb tremor on performance. Each item from the modified subscales ranges from 0 - 4, with 0 representing normal and 4 representing severely abnormal. The sum of the 6 items provides the TETRAS composite outcome score, which ranges from 0 - 24, with higher scores representing more severe ET.

TETARS-PS is a clinical rating scale that quantifies tremor in the head, face, voice, limbs and trunk. Items 6 (drawing an Archimedes spiral) and 7 (handwriting) of the TETRAS-PS evaluate the impact of upper limb tremor on performance. Each item from the modified subscales ranges from 0 - 4, with 0 representing normal and 4 representing severely abnormal. The sum of the TETRAS-PS items, which ranges from 0 - 8, with higher scores representing more severe ET.

The CGI-I is a 7-point Likert-type rating scale that a qualified medical personnel (ie, a clinician)will use to rate the severity of the participants' ability to function due to their ET. The responses to this scale range from 1 (Very much improved) to 7 (Very much worse).

The PGI-I is a 7-point Likert-type rating scale that participants use to rate the change in severity of their ability to function due to ET. The responses to this scale range from 1 (Very much better) to 7 (Very much worse).

Safety outcome as measured by the incidence of investigational devices-related adverse events, event types from Day-0 (Baseline) to Day-14 (follow-up assessment)

The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale- Activities of Daily Living (TETRAS-ADL) subscale is a patient-rated scale administered by a trained interviewer that assesses the impact of tremor on day-to-day functioning, such as feeding with a spoon, drinking from a glass, pouring, using keys. Each item from the modified subscales ranges from 0 - 4, with 0 representing normal and 4 representing severely abnormal. The sum of the 4 items of TETRAS ADL subscale provide outcome score, which ranges from 0 - 16, with higher scores representing more severe ET.

The Quality of Life in Essential Tremor Questionnaire (QUEST) was developed to specifically assess the impact of ET on health-related quality of life. The QUEST is a 30-item questionnaire comprising 5 subscales (physical, psychosocial, communication, hobbies/leisure, and work/finance) and a total score, plus 3 additional items relating to sexual function and satisfaction with tremor control and medication side effects. Each item is rated by frequency on a scale from 0 (never) to 4 (always), with higher scores indicating greater dissatisfaction or disability due to ET.

The PGI-I is a 7-point Likert-type rating scale that participants use to rate the change in severity of their ability to function due to ET. The responses to this scale range from 1 (Very much better) to 7 (Very much worse).

TETARS-PS is a clinical rating scale that quantifies tremor in the head, face, voice, limbs and trunk. Items 6 (drawing an Archimedes spiral) and 7 (handwriting) of the TETRAS-PS evaluate the impact of upper limb tremor on performance. Each item from the modified subscales ranges from 0 - 4, with 0 representing normal and 4 representing severely abnormal. The sum of the TETRAS-PS items, which ranges from 0 - 8, with higher scores representing more severe ET.

Health-related quality of life will be measured using the EuroQol Five Dimensions (EQ-5D). The EQ-5D-5L is a valid extension of the 3-level questionnaire. It can be defined as a standardized non-disease specific value-based instrument to describe and value health-related quality of life. The instrument consists of two components: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS).The first part consists of five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has five response categories (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems). The EQ-VAS measures one's self-perceived health today on a vertical scale from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health) on which participants have to indicate their current health.

Bain & Findley Activities of Daily Living (B&F ADL) Scale is a patient rated scale. ADL tasks included in the study are: Use a spoon to drink soup ; Hold a cup of tea ; Pour milk from a bottle or carton ; Dial a telephone ; Pick up your change ; Insert an electric plug into a socket ; Unlock your front door with a key and Write a letter. Each task will be rated on a 4-point scale (1-4): 1 = Able to do the activity without difficulty ; 2 = Able to do the activity with a little effort ; 3 = Able to do the activity with a lot of effort ; 4 = Cannot do the activity by yourself.

The CGI-I is a 7-point Likert-type rating scale that a qualified medical personnel (ie, a clinician)will use to rate the severity of the participants' ability to function due to their ET. The responses to this scale range from 1 (Very much improved) to 7 (Very much worse).

Change in participants' experience of GyroGlove after 2-week home use will be assessed by utilising User Experience Questionnaire. Participants will complete User Experience Questionnaire form during follow-up visit.
