Subjects were asked to perform three of the upper extremity motor function tasks from the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) test. The tasks were: 1) finger tapping, 2) opening and closing of palms, and 3) pronation-supination movements of the forearms. The inertia signals were wirelessly received and stored on a computer for further off-line analysis. Various features such as range, standard deviation, entropy, time to accomplish the task, and maximum frequency present in the signal were extracted and compared. The results showed that among the studied population,…
