Apparatus for tremor reduction including a sensor for sensing muscle movements, a stimulation/recording electrode unit for providing Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to a muscle, the stimulation/recording electrode unit including a filter for filtering around a tremor frequency to ignore slow movements and high frequency noise associated with the muscle movements that were sensed, and a processor for generating a set of relationships of muscle response to the FES, called FES-muscle-response relationships, and for selecting a new FES for application to the muscle in accordance with acquired knowledge of the FES-muscle-response relationships. An apparatus and a helmet for effecting proper alignment and application of a stimulation/recording electrode to a patient's arm and neck region, respectively, are also described.
