But to truly test whether their prototype device could help essential tremor patients overcome their condition's effects,
the Lift Labs team turned to Chou, who with his colleagues sees hundreds of essential tremor patients a year.
However, the prosthetic slips off when Pete
lifts his leg, so the
team is currently working on a third design at the Fabrication
Lab, which will employ some sort of system to attach the prosthetic securely to Pete's body, like a flight vest or a half - solid, half - soft boot.
