Abstract
A system and method for scoring movement disorder symptoms comprises a movement measurement data acquisition system and processing comprising an algorithm trained on standardized scores. The movement measuring apparatus may comprise sensors such as accelerometers or gyroscopes or may utilize motion capture and/or machine vision technology or various other methods to measure tremor, bradykinesia, gait and balance disturbances, dyskinesia, or other movement disorders in a subject afflicted with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or the like. The system outputs a score having an inclusive 0-4 scale that correlates to the UPDRS and MDS-UPDRS, or to a particular component of the movement disorder such as speed, amplitude or rhythm, but has greater resolution and lower variability. In some embodiments, the system is used to provide recommendations for treatment and/or to provide treatment in the form of pharmaceutical drugs and/or electric stimulus as part of a closed-loop system.
