This diploma thesis is part of a larger group project, to which three students
are contributing. The goal of the project is a system that consists of three
parts:
1. measurement of PD symptoms with accelerometer and other mobile sen-
sors,
2. measurement of PD symptoms with the help of finger tapping test,
3. tracking, visualization and learning pacient's symptoms.
This thesis focuses on the measurement of PD symptoms with the help of
finger tapping test. Application will be programmed in QML. It is composed
of two areas on which the subject will alternately finger tap. The application
will be used for two assignments:
1. finger tapping from the wrist, distal bradyhypokinesia,
2. finger tapping from the shoulder, proxim bradyhypokinesia.
With the help of these two tests/assignments we can observe possible reduc-
tion of voluntary movements in speed and amplitude, that is the quintessen-
tial PD symptom - it can be used to classify Parkinson's bradyhypokinesia
and non-Parkinson's bradyhypokinesia.
