Abstract
To precise objective monitoring bradykinesia are still very limited. Bradykinesia is manifested inter alia in hilly limb movements such as the finger tapping test, ie periodic connecting the thumb and forefinger of the hand, which is manifested by reducing the amplitude and speed of movement of the fingers.
Devices that have been tested to measure the movements of the fingers, usually require the installation of sensors on the body of the person examined. Among these devices can include accelerometers, gyroscopes, Polhemus tracking system and sensory gloves.
Weight sensor is usually more than 1 g are connected to the measuring device by means of cables, which affects the movement of the fingers and thereby distorts the measured characteristics of the movement. The above deficiencies are remedied bradykinesia Device for measuring upper limb movements of the fingers, particularly in Parkinson's disease according to the technical solution
