- Objective data in Parkinson’s disease therapy management – A retrospective analysis of the Parkinson’s kinetigraph (PKG) databaseObjective: To assess whether patients who received a PKG analysis in routine care featured improved PD symptom scores over time using the PKG central repository.…
- Evaluating bradykinesia: How many finger taps are needed?Objective: To assess the utility of finger tapping (FT) test to evaluate bradykinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD) at short and long FT sequences. Background: Repetitive…
- A 12-month, 2-arm, 2-period, randomized, controlled trial of a digital solution for the management of Parkinson’s disease (PD): Rationale and study designObjective: To collect evidence to support the use of a digital solution to improve health outcomes in PD through remote, timely and appropriate drug adjustments,…
- Objective, unobtrusive assessment of bradykinesia in Parkinson’s diseaseObjective: To evaluate unobtrusive motion tracking for objective assessment of bradykinesia of the upper extremity in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: The MDS-UPDRS is the most…
- Automated assessment of advanced motor Parkinson’s disease; a pilot study of the Parkinson’s KinetiGraph as an objective tool for measurement of motor fluctuationsObjective: To evaluate the utility of the Parkinson's KinetiGraph (PKG) as a tool in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) to determine need for treatment change by…
- Comparative analysis of upper limb motor function and articulation disorder in Parkinson’s diseaseObjective: To assess the relationship between upper limb bradykinesia and hypokinetic dysarthria in Parkinson's disease (PD) using instrumental investigations of speech and limb motor function.…
- Reliability and responsiveness of in-clinic and at-home app-based bradykinesia assessmentObjective: To evaluate reliability and responsiveness of an objective app-based bradykinesia assessment tool in the clinic and at home and to compare it to clinical…
- A step forward to the future: UPDRS kinematic measures for telemedicineObjective: We set up an experimental instrumentation to quantify selected items of UPDRS by a Kinect technology and body sensory-network (BSN), destinated to an easy…
- Automated Telehealth Diagnostics for Remote Parkinson MonitoringObjective: To clinically assess and evaluate the impact of automated telehealth diagnostics on patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: A single evaluation in a clinical…
- Are clinical certainty ratings helpful in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease?Objective: To determine whether clinical certainty ratings are helpful in predicting pathologically proven PD. Background: Clinical diagnostic criteria for PD rely on rest tremor, bradykinesia,…
