Remote at-home wearable-based gait assessments in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy compared to Parkinson's Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Wearable sensors can differentiate Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) from Parkinson's Disease (PD) in laboratory settings but have not been tested in remote settings.

Objectives

To compare gait and balance in PSP and PD remotely using wearable-based assessments.

Methods

Participants with probable PSP or probable/clinically established PD with reliable caregivers, still able to ambulate 10 feet unassisted, were recruited, enrolled, and consented remotely and instructed by video conference to operate a study-specific tablet solution (BioDigit Home ™) and to wear three inertial sensors (LEGSys™, BioSensics LLC, Newton, MA USA) while performing the Timed Up and Go, 5 × sit-to-stand, and 2-min walk tests. PSPRS and MDS-UPDRS scores were collected virtually or
