Abstract:
1. A system for quantifying symptoms of a subject having a movement disorder comprising: a movement measuring apparatus for acquiring movement data corresponding to movement of a subject, the movement measuring apparatus comprising at least one sensor having a signal, and at least one electronic component, including a processor, for detecting and receiving the signal from the at least one sensor, the at least one electronic component being in wireless or tethered communication with the at least one sensor, the processor including a trained algorithm to calculate a score correlated at least in part to a clinician's standardized movement assessment rating score; and a device for outputting or otherwise communicating the score calculated by the trained algorithm to a clinician or other user for review and analysis, wherein the trained algorithm has been trained to distinguish at least in part between voluntary and involuntary movement, and between postural and kinetic tremor, and uses at least in part the distinctions to determine a movement to score.
