Quantitative Assessment of Parkinsonian Tremor Based on an Inertial Measurement Unit
Quantitative assessment of parkinsonian tremor based on inertial sensors can provide reliable feedback on the effect of medication. In this regard, the features of parkinsonian tremor and its unique properties such as motor fluctuations and dyskinesia are taken into account. Least-square-estimation models are used to assess the severities of rest, postural, and action tremors. In addition, a ti...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of parkinsonian bradykinesia based on an inertial measurement unit
BACKGROUND As the most characteristic feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), bradykinesia (slowness of movement) affects all patients with Parkinson's disease and interferes with their daily activities. This study introduces a wearable bradykinesia assessment system whose core component is composed of an inertial measurement unit. METHODS The system diagram and assessment task were defined in a...
متن کاملMap-based Indoor People Localization using an Inertial Measurement Unit
In this paper, we propose a new approach to map-based indoor localization for walking people using an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Generally, an office building includes various components such as corridors, rooms, floors, staircases, elevators. We consider the components for personal positioning. We present two mapping methods that are a map representation method and a position compensatio...
متن کاملIsoprenaline on Parkinsonian Tremor
The development of pharmacological substances, capable of exerting powerful effects at known sites in the nervous system, has provided a new versatile tool for clinical research. No longer is it necessary to destroy a part of the nervous system in order to study what effect it may have upon a phenomenon; the activity of that part may be held in abeyance by the use of pharmacological blocking ag...
متن کاملAn Inertial Measurement Unit for User Interfaces
We have developed a compact, six degree-of-freedom inertial measurement unit for user interfaces. The system uses three axes each of gyroscopes and accelerometers for full 6-axis inertial sensing, and transmits data wirelessly to an external basestation, providing full state updates at 75 Hz. Circuitry for proximity sensing and ID transmission through capacitive coupling was also constructed. W...
