Introduction Aassessing movement disorders in daily life can provide information that might
not be available during a short clinical visit. This review provides an overview of the currently …

Abstract Body-fixed sensors (BFS), eg, accelerometers worn for several days, can be used to
augment the traditional clinical assessment. Long-term recordings obtained with BFS have …

At present, the standard practices for home-based assessments of abnormal movements in
Parkinson's disease (PD) are based either on subjective tools or on objective measures that …

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the concurrent validity of an objective gait
measure for assessment of motor states in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients …

Objective. To develop an automated and objective method to assess mobility in Parkinson
disease (PD) patients in daily-life settings and to investigate whether accelerometer-derived …

Background The current gold standard for evaluating normal and impaired motor
performances includes the use of the information provided by the patient and the Unified …

Effective management and development of new treatment strategies of motor symptoms in
Parkinson's disease (PD) largely depend on clinical rating instruments like the Unified PD …

Background: Subjective symptoms, which are retrospectively assessed during clinical
interviews in the office, may be influenced by patient recall in Parkinson's disease (PD) …

Advanced stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) are characterized by the presence of motor
complications, which affect about 50% of patients after 5 and 90% after 10 years of disease …

Background: The Parkinson Disease (PD) Home Diary (HD) is a commonly used clinical
outcome measure, but it has not been extensively compared to direct assessments by …
