The assessment of Parkinson's disease (PD) poses a significant challenge, as it is influenced by various factors that lead to a complex and fluctuating symptom manifestation. Thus, a frequent and objective PD assessment is highly valuable for effecti...
Pars plana vitrectomy is a challenging, minimally invasive microsurgical procedure due to its intrinsic manoeuvres and physiological limits that constrain human capability. An important human limitation is physiological hand tremor, which can signifi...

BACKGROUND: Currently the most consistent, widely accepted and detailed instrument to rate Parkinson's disease (PD) is the Movement Disorder Society sponsored Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). However, the motor examination is based...
Tremor is a commonly observed symptom in patients of Parkinson's disease (PD), and accurate measurement of tremor severity is essential in prescribing appropriate treatment to relieve its symptoms. We propose a tremor assessment system based on the u...
MOTIVATION: Although clinical aspirations for new technology to accurately measure and diagnose Parkinsonian tremors exist, automatic scoring of tremor severity using machine learning approaches has not yet been employed.
Automated segmentation is a useful method for studying large brain structures such as the cerebellum and brainstem. However, automated segmentation may lead to inaccuracy and/or undesirable boundary. The goal of the present study was to investigate w...
Parkinsons disease is a complex neurodegenerative disorder for which patients present many symptoms, tremor being the main one. In advanced stages of the disease, Deep Brain Stimulation is a generalized therapy which can significantly improve the mot...
Pathological tremor significantly impairs daily activities and quality of life, particularly in conditions such as essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. The assessment and evaluation of tremor, along with its evolution with medication dosages, po...
BACKGROUND: Treatment for essential tremor (ET) and cortical myoclonus (CM) differs. As their clinical distinction can be difficult, with large inter- and intra-observer variability, there is a need for additional diagnostic tools.
