Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analysis of movement data with regard to characteristic values, which allows a classification of the severity of the disease. The movements of subjects are recorded during the a) diadochokinetic exercise and the b) stand-up-and-go test with 8 inertial sensors on the extremities. The recording is carried out with inertial measuring units (as typically used by fitness tracker), which transmit the data via Bluetooth to smartphone. Immediately after a patient's visit, a check is made to see if the data set is complete and error-free. For this purpose, all data is displayed as a diagram over time and evaluated by a trained employee. Goal is to record 35 complete data sets. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| This is a pilot study in which the basic suitability of the recorded data is to be investigated. Each patient is usually examined only once. A patient is completed when all four described motion tests have been successfully recorded. | — |
