Is it similar to Liftware?
Or are you talking about relatively small tremors compared to Parkinson's.
Just asking out of interest. I'm going into aged/disability care soon and I'm checking out all the disability gadgets. :-)
With respect to writing, there are two issues: holding the pen tip on the surface and controlling unwanted lateral movement. For the last part a heavy pen with more mass provides better control because it takes more force to move an object with greater mass. Thus, intentional effort will move the pen as desired whereas, involuntary movements with less force won't as much. People with tremors also do better with hefty eating utensils that work using the same principle.
Second a pen that is more heavily weighted toward the tip, reduces the amount of pressure required to hold it to the writing surface. That's more important for people with arthritis since it reduces the amount of grip strength required to press down.
If you are curious about tremors, I would suggest looking up "essential temors". It is much more common that Parkinson's disease.
