Parkinson's Disease: Overview

590
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

292
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Parkinson disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder impacting millions globally, characterized by motor impairments.
  • Early diagnosis of PD is crucial for effective management and treatment.
  • Assessing motor function through digital device interactions offers a novel diagnostic avenue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of using finger tapping and 2D hand movement data from keyboard and mouse interactions to detect Parkinson disease (PD).
  • To differentiate between individuals with and without PD based on motor behavior patterns captured during structured digital tasks.
  • To develop a predictive model for PD detection utilizing accessible, technology-based measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited participants through the Hawaii Parkinson Association (HPA) and a web-based application for data collection.
  • Administered structured tests for finger tapping (speed, accuracy, unintended movements) and 2D hand movement (stability, precision) using keyboard and mouse/trackpad inputs.
  • Collected demographic and self-reported PD status data, analyzing recorded motor behavior for predictive insights.

Main Results:

  • A predictive model was developed using 6 key features extracted from keyboard and mouse movement data of 31 participants (13 with PD, 18 without PD).
  • The model achieved an average F1-score of 0.7311 and an accuracy of 0.7429 in predicting the presence of PD over 20 runs.
  • Analysis highlighted the significance of precision and movement speed in differentiating PD patients from controls.

Conclusions:

  • Technology-based limb movement data, including structured mouse movements and finger tapping, can effectively predict the presence of Parkinson disease (PD).
  • This approach offers a practical, cost-effective, and accessible method for early PD detection.
  • Combining keyboard and mouse-based motor assessments shows promise for non-invasive PD diagnosis.
