vilim v viraball

[saraoutwest]

does anyone know if the viraball uses the same technology as the more expensive vilim ball? I know it’s a cheaper knock off available on Amazon. Is the cheaper one ok? Any success with either?

I found the viraball Amazon reviews: amazon.com/viraball-Physiot...

I have got both the viraball and a cheap knockoff. I actually like the cheap knockoff better. It is now out of production but there are plenty of cheap knockoffs available: amazon.com/s?k=Massage+Ball

These devices used to help reduce my tremor but not so much lately.

I believe the viraball (on Amazon) is the cheap knockoff of the Vilim ball which costs about 345 euros. It programs to your own individual tremor (apparently) the viraball is like a massage ball and just vibrates at different speeds. If it works I’m happy to fork out the money. Just keen to hear of any success stories of the Vilim.

My sister who has PD bought and used the Vilim ball. It did absolutely nothing for her symptoms. I would not waste my money on Vilim ball or similar technologies. I would wait for the TASS glove to come out.

I don't know about the Vilim ball (wow pricey).I had a viraball and it was cheaply made and didn't last very long before it fell apart and couldn't be put back together.
