Background
Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) suffer from a high fall risk. Previous approaches for evaluating fall risk are based on self-report or testing at a given time point and may, therefore, be insufficient to optimally capture fall risk. We tested, for the first time, whether metrics derived from 3 day continuous …
Initial studies by the Newcastlenteam – who are based in the University’s Digital Interaction Group in Culture Lab, part of the School of Computing Science – have focussed on the acceptability of Glass. They have been working with a group of Parkinson’s volunteers aged between 46-70 years.
Now they are working on the next stage of …
Metronome and stooped posture guard for Parkinson patients
The specific and ultimate goal of the REMPARK project is to develop a PHS with closed loop detection, response and treatment capabilities for management of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients at two levels:
NS-Park is a French Neuroscience network of clinical investigation centers specialized in Parkinson’s disease and Movement Disorders. Established in 2006, NS-Park includes 16 Clinical Investigation Centers (CIC) in France in close collaboration with the hospital’s specialized teams (expert Parkinson centers, centers of reference for neurogenetic disease, multiple system atrophy, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, supranuclear paralysis …), the French network of deep brain stimulation (France Stim), thegenetic …
This intelligent technological architecture will deliver embodied, flexible, and efficient rhythmical stimulation adapted to the individual’s skills with the goal of enhancing or recovering features of movement performance
NeuroGlyphics is an Microsoft-based Windows application developed with the general motivation of adding a quantitative dimension to the often routine tasks of collecting writing samples, drawing an Archimedes spiral or performing static pointing, explored during routine neurological exams.
A TabletPC with an integrated digitizing surface or any PC with an attached digitizing tablet could be transformed …
Christopher Smith built a hand tremor assessment tool using a new type of computer interface for assessing a persons ability to draw a pattern and how fast their hand moves back and forth and some other statistics.
