Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative movement disorder. The motor status of patients with PD can be characterized by the Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS). However, the UPDRS evaluates the movement disorders on a descriptive level only. Diagnosis and therapy of PD could be augmented if a quantitative assessment could be implemented. Thus, a wireless wearable sensor...
We present a new preoperative planning method for reducing the risk associated with the insertion of straight tools in image-guided keyhole neurosurgery. The method quantifies the risks of multiple candidate trajectories and presents them on a physical model of a head using Augmented Reality (AR) to assist the neurosurgeon in selecting the safest path. The surgeon can then define and/or revise the...
Physical examination, interviews with patients and the results of rating scales for movement disturbances are the basis for the assessment of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, subjectivity in the assessment of the symptoms and the short period of observation are disadvantageous. This paper presents the results of a study to assess the feasibility of using accelerometer data, acquired from smart clothes,...
