Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability and efficacy of vibration (delivered by an experimental device called RMBand that is worn on the subject's arm) on parkinsonian tremor. The RMBand was developed by Resonate Forward, LLC (RF). This RMBand is designed to administer a vibration to the wearer to decrease or stop tremor in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD).
