Kinect-based objective evaluation of bradykinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To quantify bradykinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD) with a Kinect depth camera-based motion analysis system and to compare PD and healthy control (HC) subjects.

Methods

Fifty PD patients and twenty-five HCs were recruited. The Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III (MDS-UPDRS III) was used to evaluate the motor symptoms of PD. Kinematic features of five bradykinesia-related motor tasks were collected using Kinect depth camera. Then, kinematic features were correlated with the clinical scales and compared between groups.

Results

Significant correlations were found between kinematic features and clinical scales (P < 0.05). Compared with HCs, PD patients exhibited a significant decrease in t
