This should be reusable for intention tremors as Peter Levine wrote about here;

If only we had a Great stroke association that would take these ideas and push them to success.

When the team tested the device in a clinical trial at the University of Michigan (which was later featured at American Academy of Neurology’s annual conference),
they found more than 70 percent reduction in tremor with use of the
device. That means it doesn’t entirely cancel the tremor but provides
significant stabilization. It’s by no means meant to replace medical options for treating tremor, but could potentially be a tool for daily living with Parkinson’s or essential tremor.
