Research Abstract	I built a simple biofeedback equipment to control the upper limbs tremor. This equipment is composed of 3-axis accelerometers, amplifier, analog-to-digital converter, personal computer and headphone. I measured the upper limb acceleration using this equipment and investigated the safety of the equipment which assumed use at home. I improved this equipment based on the found problem. I have made the equipment for the biofeedback in the future.
