Sensors, machine learning aid in ID'ing Parkinson's-like movement...

Integrating movement sensors and machine learning approaches may aid a correct diagnosis of movement disorders, including essential tremor and myoclonus, a study in the Netherlands suggests. Essential tremor is a progressive movement disorder marked by tremors, while myoclonus refers to brief, shock-like muscle jerks. Both can occur during voluntary movements and may resemble motor symptoms seen in Parkinson’s disease, making them challenging to…

The essential tremor is a pathology of movement, the most frequent pathology of abnormal movements, in front of Parkinson's disease. It remains poorly known to the general public and can be stigmatizing. Clara Luciani's recent speech, affected by this disease, could contribute to the emergence of this neurological pathology.
