Contactless evaluation of rigidity in Parkinson's disease by machine vision and machine learning

Motor symptom machine rating system for complete MDS-UPDRS III in Parkinson’s disease: A proof-of-concept pilot study

“…Five ratings for “Rigidity” (including upper extremity [UE], lower extremity [LE], and neck) and one rating for “Postural Stability” of the MDS-UPDRS III requiring physical contact between the physician and the patient cannot be performed in machine vision. Our team previously managed to construct models for rigidity evaluation based on features collected from patients’ motions through machine vision, [ 5 ] which makes machine rating of the entire MDS-UPDRS III possible.…”
