Default utensils that cancel out tremor

Has anyone seen or tried this eating utensil that visibly reduces tremor? There is a video link on the page. It does appear to help a lot. The results note a 70% reduction in tremor.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2014...t-hand-tremors

It gave me an idea to cancel out some of my hand issues....which many people do by grasping their other hand, sitting on hands, or engaging them in some type of activity to reduce resting tremors. When my tremors were really large and violent holding a hand weight or similar would give me some relief. The problem was I had to actively engage in doing something with the weight. I saw a hand exerciser that has a gyroscope in it and is used to strengthen hands/arms.

The idea is that the ball (baseball size) moves and shifts weight by itself forcing the user to move their hand. I ordered one for about $25 to try and see if that would give me a more absent minded way to counteract tremor rather than lifting weight for hours. I should get it from amazon today. I'll let you know how it works. I also ordered a vibrating pillow. I have trouble with my knee and foot running away with jerking and was just curious if some type of motion applied would slow this down. It's worth a shot.

Link to the ball on Amazon.
