Tremor accompanying the Parkinson's disease is perceived as one of its most disturbing symptoms. Among available treatments there is a deep brain stimulation, which effectively reduces unwanted oscillations of patient's muscles. Nevertheless, setting parameters of the stimulation is a highly empirical process and the final outcome depends primarily on the experience of involved medical personnel. We present a device which is meant to provide a clinician with feedback based on the measurable parameters of tremor, monitored in many points of the body simultaneously. Functionality of the device was verified at a basic level. During the verification, the vibrations were recorded: (1) in a relaxed arm, (2) during voluntary contraction of muscles and (3) after being damped by tissues (in this case the vibrations were introduced from an external generator). Moreover, a method of selecting optimal place for mounting vibration probes is presented.
