Feasibility of a wearable inertial sensor to assess motor complications and treatment in Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Wearable sensors-based systems have emerged as a potential tool to continuously monitor Parkinson's Disease (PD) motor features in free-living environments.

Objectives

To analyse the responsivity of wearable inertial sensor (WIS) measures (On/Off-Time, dyskinesia, freezing of gait (FoG) and gait parameters) after treatment adjustments. We also aim to study the ability of the sensor in the detection of MF, dyskinesia, FoG and the percentage of Off-Time, under ambulatory conditions of use.

Methods

We conducted an observational, open-label study. PD patients wore a validated WIS (STAT-ONTM) for one week (before treatment), and one week, three months after therapeutic changes. The patients were analyzed into two groups according to whether treatment changes had
