Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - The patient has had Parkinson's symptoms for more than five years. - The patient has a good response to dopaminergic medication. - The patient is selected to undergo preoperative screening for Parkinson DBS surgery in the Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam. - The patient is able to communicate adequately in Dutch or English. - The patient is between the age of 18 and 80.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - The patient has a medical (or other) history other than Parkinson's disease which restricts hand movement (e.g. a complicated wrist fracture of severe arthritis). - Inability to correctly place the PowerGlove on the patient's hand or to correctly perform the necessary calibration.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameters in this study are the sensitivity, specificity and reliability of the PowerGlove system in measuring the Parkinson symptoms rigidity, bradykinesia and tremor. These are derived from the relations between: - moment of force and range of motion generated in passive wrist flexion, measured by the PowerGlove system, - speed and amplitude of hand and finger kinematics in different active hand movement tasks, measured by the PowerGlove system, - frequency characteristics and amplitude of hand movement in rest, measured by the PowerGlove system, and - UPDRS scores for rigidity, bradykinesia and tremor, assessed by an experienced clinician (UPDRS part III, items 20-25) in different points over time, ON- and OFF-medication, and executed by different experienced clinicians. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters of interest are: - EMG activity recorded during passive wrist flexion. - Gender - Age - Disease duration - Medication use - Dominant left of right hand - Body weight - Body length - Hand size | — |
