| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Parameters (obtained from the inertial sensors) relating to the UPDRS-scores for tremor, bradykinesia, and akinesia during three conditions are compared. These conditions are stimulator on with normal settings, stimulator on with altered settings, and stimulator off. The correlations of these parameters to the UPDRS-scores of tremor, bradykinesia, and akinesia is also assessed. | — |
