Distinctive Handwriting Signs in Early Parkinson’s Disease

Background: The analysis of handwriting movements to quantify motor and cognitive impairments in neurodegenerative diseases is increasingly attracting interest. Non-invasive quick-to-administer tools using movement can be used early screening Parkinson’s disease (PD) maybe the diagnosis other disease. Theaim this work identify distinctive signs characterizing stage PD, order provide a diagnostic tool for detection Compared previous studies, here, we analyzed patients on which affects contralateral side with respect one writing. Methods: We collected set samples by PD healthy subjects. Participants were asked follow novel protocol, containing patterns various levels complexity, both familiar unfamiliar movements. Results: found that differ from those appearing later stages. Our provides evidence even when mainly writing, could achieved analyzing specific features measured during execution tasks. Eventually, patients’ performance benefits conditions. Conclusions: guidelines design some suggestions reducing patients.
