Summary:This paper wishes to provide an overview for active tremor compensations methods for laser medical instruments, considering the pure mechanical and the optical approaches. Moreover, the tremor problematics is approached, considering that in all its forms, tremor can have an impact in one's life. Of course, the main impact on tremor is underlined in microsurgery, where enhanced positioning and precision are needed in order to provide high quality medical act. An overview of the literature is presented, where many solutions can be seen. The principal solutions treated in this paper are the pure mechanical one, which aims to achieve tremor compensation by using different translations and rotations for the laser source, all integrated in a custom design and the optical one, which takes advantage of well know optic principles in order to compensate the tremor. Both methods are analysed through this paper, both advantages and disadvantages for each method being underlined.
