HOW TO USE TREMELO

There is no on/off button. The Tremelo automatically responds when the tremor occurs after you put the device on your arm.

Simply put on your hand through the black arm brace. You can fasten or loosen the brace to make sure it fits comfortably on our arm. Align and connect the Tremelo device’s dial on to the socket of the brace with the logo “5” facing outward. Gently press down on the dial and the device will click into place. You may refer to the User Guide in your order for more details. Watch this video for visual instructions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfCuN6KBwwQ.

 

Look at the bottom of the arm brace and you will see an “R” for right arm or “L” for left arm. 

 

To know if the Tremelo works for you, you should notice an immediate reduction in your hand tremor after wearing the device for at least a few minutes. If you do not feel an immediate improvement, try the device privately when you are alone, relaxed and calm so you feel comfortable and confident. Try the device for a week doing various activities.

 

The Tremelo may not be strong enough to overcome the severity of the Essential Tremor in your hand.

The Tremelo only helps with Essential Tremor. It does not work for Parkinson’s Disease or any other movement disorders.

 

No. The device is designed only for one arm. For example, if you purchase a device for your left arm, you can only use it for your left arm. It will not be as effective for your right arm.

 

Yes. Tremelo devices work independently from each other.

HOW TO CARE

Wipe the device with a soft towel or regular disinfectant wipes. Handwash the arm brace following the instructions in the User Guide included in your order. Air dry the arm brace by hanging it. Do not put the Tremelo or arm brace in a washer or drying machine. Watch this video for visual instructions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YM_HOFuI1s.

 

The device should not be submerged under water. However, it is splash proof. This means the Tremelo can get slightly wet on the outside surface. We highly encourage you to wear a large glove over the Tremelo when you shower.
