First of all thanks to all of you who have welcomed me to the club. Wish I could say it was great to be here, but bad times can bring out the best in people. I think it is the case here. Question for Gray Miller or any of you other techies. Have any of you come across a feedback control system model of the sensing and muscle control elements affected by Parkinsons disease? In this early stage of the disease for me it seems that the loss of sensing function is what causes part of the symptoms. It would seem to me that the biomedical engineering types should have such a model by this point. It also seems to me that one could use electronic sensing elements to detect rigidity and tremor and use this to electrically stimulate muscles with the same type of device used for muscle spasms. I could probably tolerate electrodes on my shoulder or neck. I'm not sure I'm ready to have my head wired for cable. Just some wacky thoughts. I have these at night. Any leads on some tech info that doesn't get me too deep into anatomy would be appreciated. Phil G. ([log in to unmask])
