Abstract:
We developed a method to quantify hand postural tremor amplitude and frequency from standard videos without external calibration. Using iris-based scaling and deep-learning models for 3D pose estimation and hand tracking, the automatic approach demonstrated excellent agreement with manual measures. Clinical validation in persons with Parkinson's disease demonstrated sensitivity to treatment effects and strong correlation with clinician-provided scores. The proposed method, available as part of VisionMD, enables objective, scalable assessment of postural tremor from standard videos.

Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity
When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...
Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it...
