    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Human Factors Engineering

    Background:

    • Objective and quantitative evaluation of motor functions is essential for accurate performance assessment.
    • Tracking tasks offer a robust methodology for assessing motor performance across various conditions.
    • Existing methods may lack flexibility or comprehensive data recording capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the appropriateness of tracking tasks for motor performance assessment.
    • To introduce a novel, flexible, computer-controlled tracking device for objective motor function evaluation.
    • To demonstrate the application of this device in a clinical setting, specifically for Parkinson's disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of different tracking task paradigms including open/closed loop, compensatory, pursuit, preview, and cognitive tracking.
    • Development and description of a user-oriented, interactive computer system for controlling tracking experiments.
    • Implementation of the system for measuring motor performance changes in Parkinson's disease patients undergoing levodopa therapy.

    Main Results:

    • The presented computer-controlled device enables precise measurement of motor performance under diverse experimental conditions.
    • The system effectively records performance data, facilitating objective analysis.
    • The application example demonstrates the device's utility in evaluating treatment effects on motor symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • Tracking tasks, facilitated by computer-controlled systems, provide an effective means for objective motor function assessment.
    • The developed device offers a flexible and versatile platform for motor performance research.
    • This technology has significant potential for clinical applications, such as monitoring treatment efficacy in neurological disorders.
