Abstract

BACKGROUND: Parkinson's Disease (PD) demands early diagnosis and frequent assessment of symptoms. In particular, analysing hand movements is pivotal to understand disease progression. Advancements in hand tracking using Deep Learning (DL) allow for the automatic and objective disease evaluation from video recordings of standardised motor tasks, which are the foundation of neurological examinations. In view of this scenario, this narrative review aims to describe the state of the art and the future perspective of DL frameworks for hand tracking in video-based PD assessment.
