The arising-from-chair task assessment is a key aspect of the evaluation of movement disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, common scale-based clinical assessment methods are highly subjective and dependent on the neurologist's expertise. Al...
Neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) often adversely affect the vascular system, leading to alterations in blood flow patterns. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is used to monitor hemodynamic changes via signal measure...

INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by motor symptoms whose progression is typically assessed using clinical scales, namely the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). Despite its reliabilit...
Parkinson's Disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder, significantly impacts the quality of life for millions of people worldwide. PD primarily impacts dopaminergic neurons in the brain's substantia nigra, resulting in dopamine deficiency and gait i...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is challenging for clinicians to accurately diagnose in the early stages. Quantitative measures of brain health can be obtained safely and non-invasively using medical imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative nervous system disorder involving motor disturbances. Motor alterations affect the gait according to the progression of PD and can be used by experts in movement disorders to rate the severity of the disease...
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 t...
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a prevalent neurological condition characterized by motor and cognitive impairments, typically manifesting around the age of 50 and presenting symptoms such as gait difficulties and speech impairments. Although a cure rema...
