Ambulatory Assessment of Motor State in Patients With Parkinson's Disease in Real Daily Life
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Radboud University, September 2005
Sponsored by: Radboud University
Information provided by: Radboud University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00184808
  Purpose

Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from motor fluctuations and levodopa induced dyskinesia. The prupose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an automatic system to assess the motor state of PD patients in real daily life. Movements and postures are assessed using 6 accelerometers attached to the the most affected wrist, trunk, both upper legs and both upper arms. Patients wear the system for two days and keep an own diary of their motor state
