A Usability Pilot Study of a Sensor-Guided Interactive System for Dexterity Training in Parkinson's Disease.

ABSTRACT: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the usability of a new, feedback-based dexterity training system in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) and healthy adults. Seven PwPD and seven healthy adults participated in the study. The System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire Version 3 (PSSUQ) were used to assess usability. Additionally, the feedback shown as a counter, detected through newly developed algorithms, was evaluated by comparing the device-detected repetitions during six exercises to those counted by a supervisor. High median SUS scores of 92.5 were obtained in both PwPD (IQR = 81.25-98.75) and healthy adults (IQR = 87.5-93.75, maximum score 100, minimum score 0). Similarly, high PSSUQ median scores were achieved after the session (1.14, IQR = 1.0
