Home based objective measures of bradykinesia and dyskinesia will be important in managing Parkinsons Disease (PD). The Aim of this paper was to further validate the Parkinsons Kinetigraph system as a tool for measuring bradykinesia and dyskinesia by examining its capacity capture the effect of therapeutic interventions, detect bradykinesia and asymmetry in a newly diagnosed patients, and corre...
