Key Bradykinesia Characteristic

Bradykinesia, the hallmark slowness of movement in Parkinson's Disease (PD), is a key focus of research aiming to improve diagnosis and monitoring. Current efforts utilize computer vision and machine learning, employing algorithms like LSTM-FCN and InceptionTime, to analyze video and wearable sensor data, focusing on quantifying subtle characteristics such as movement amplitude decrement and occasional arrests. These advancements offer potential for more objective and remote assessment of bradykinesia, improving both clinical diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies for PD patients.
