El temblor de mano es el movimiento involuntario más común provocado por enfermedades neurodegenerativas asociadas a la edad y trastornos de movimiento, como la enfermedad de párkinson y el temblor esencial, reconocido por ser el trastorno de movimiento más común entre la población de edad avanzada, afectado un 0.9% de la población mundial, la principal característica del temblor esencial, es el temblor cinético, el cual aparece en la realización de movimientos voluntarios en actividades cotidianas, como lo son, la escritura, comer y beber. En este trabajo se presenta el análisis del temblor de mano capturado en video usando el software Kinovea, posteriormente se utilizó dicho análisis para desarrollar un entorno virtual de simulación en el software MSC Adams View, con el propósito de integrar estos programas en el desarrollo de prototipos y técnicas de control para la supresión del temblor de mano, en este artículo se simuló la influencia del temblor en la muñeca en reposo y durante una acción voluntaria, también se simuló la acción de un exoesqueleto implementado un control PD para suprimir el temblor, obteniendo un 99.63% de supresión de movimientos con frecuencias dentro del rango característico del temblor (4 a 12Hz).
