Abstract

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that occurs in the middle-aged and elderly population and has dyskinesia as the main clinical symptom. Bradykinesia is a typical dyskinesia symptom of Parkinson's disease. The evaluation of bradykinesia based on wearable devices is an important support for individualized diagnosis and telemedicine. This paper focuses on the bradykinesia, expound the existing detection and evaluation techniques for wearable devices and data analysis methods. This paper also analyzes and discusses some current problems in the field and future research directions.

Keywords: Bradykinesia; Parkinson's disease; UPDRS; inertial sensor; wearable device.
