Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative movement disorder resulting in rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness), tremor and gait disorder. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus has been shown to be effective in managing symptoms, but quantitative methods to facilitate the adjustment of the stimulator settings are needed. In this paper, we present preliminary results from a study aimed...
We present work to develop a wireless wearable sensor system for monitoring patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in their homes. For monitoring outside the laboratory, a wearable system must not only record data, but also efficiently process data on-board. This manuscript details the analysis of data collected using tethered wearable sensors. Optimal window length for feature extraction and feature...
The aim of this study is to identify movement characteristics associated with motor fluctuations in patients with Parkinson's disease by relying on wearable sensors. Improved methods of assessing longitudinal changes in Parkinson's disease would enable optimization of treatment and maximization of patient function. We used eight accelerometers on the upper and lower limbs to monitor patients while...
Motor abilities of stroke survivors are often severely affected. Post-stroke rehabilitation is guided by the use of clinical assessments of motor abilities. Clinical assessment scores can be predicted by models based on features extracted from the wearable sensor data. Wearable sensors would allow monitoring of subjects in the home and provide accurate assessments to guide the rehabilitation process...
