WHAT IS VILIM ball?
It is a handheld therapeutic device for hand tremor reduction. Daily use of hand tremor device - VILIM ball gives Essential tremor patients a relief from the symptoms for the time they need to perform ordinary-life tasks, such as eating, drinking, writing, using electronic devices and etc.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The device is intended to use in home or professional environment as a therapy device to temporary reduce hand tremor caused by Essential tremor.
VILIM ball’s working principles are based on mechanical vibrations, the positive effects of which were observed back in the late 19th century by the French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot.
Mechanical vibrations affect the nervous and muscular tissues in the hand that exchange nerve signals with the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex controls the movement of the human body. Mechanical vibrations of VILIM ball change the nerve signals transmitted between the cerebral cortex and the arm and suppresses hand tremors.
There are 4 main principles of VILIM ball:

Our customer's feedback
I want to thank you very much for this discovery. It really helps for my mom, something we really didn’t expect. Even some doctors are surprised when we tell them. I think people need more info about it, not everyone can use the internet, so a lot of people don’t know about it. Good luck to you. And thank you very much. – Jurgita
I found a vibrating ball online and bought it for my husband because he had been diagnosed by doctors with essential tremor (hand tremor) and there was no medication. The ball you created is just a salvation. He uses it about 2 and 3 times a day for 10 minutes and after that really much less shaking hands, better hand coordination, movements, can eat on their own. Thank you for creating a device that can help people. Thank you for your efficiency and pleasant communication. Good luck to you ! – Rita
It was a good idea to stop using the vilim ball for two days. I was quickly aware that my tremor got worse while eating, drinking, etc. The ball does seem to take the edge off when trying to do those activities. It's not a dramatic difference but I think it is enough improvement to keep the ball. - Allen
