Brief summary
The objective is to compare the sensitivity and test-retest reliability of Kinesia HomeView to electronic and hand-written diaries for tracking medication state in the home. Demonstrating comparable or superior results will further support use of the Kinesia HomeView system as an outcome measure in clinical drug trials.
Interventions
Motion sensor based telemedicine system for assessment of movement disorder motor symptoms in the home. Includes automated motor assessment using motion sensor and electronic dyskinesia diary.
Hand-written paper diary indicating state (Off, On without dyskinesias, on with non-troublesome dyskinesias, on with troublesome dyskinesias) at 30 minute intervals.
