Abstract

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that alters the patients' motor performance. Patients suffer many motor symptoms: bradykinesia, dyskinesia and freezing of gait, among others. Furthermore, patients alternate between periods in which they are able to move smoothly for some hours (ON state), and periods with motor complications (OFF state). An accurate report of PD motor states and symptoms will enable doctors to personalize medication intake and, therefore, improve response to treatment. Additionally, real-time reporting could allow an automatic management of PD by means of an automatic control of drug-administration pump doses. Such a system must be able to provide accurate information without disturbing the patients' daily life activities. This paper presents the results of the MoMoPa study classifying motor states and dyskinesia from 20 PD patients by using a belt-worn single tri-axial accelerometer. The algorithms obtained will be validated in a further study with 15 PD patients and will be enhanced in the REMPARK project.
