Early Detection of Parkinson's Disease – Simulation and Assessment

It is important to note that all tremors are not considered as symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, nor is a tremor proof Parkinsonism. Recent developments in the diagnosis of PD, necessitate a thorough investigation of the disease etiology and pathophysiology. Moreover, the clinicians are aware that the present diagnostic tools and guidance need to be updated considering the latest knowledge of PD to optimize its early detection. Tremors are visible indicators of the disease prognosis. A systematic study by monitoring tremor could reveal the early symptoms of PD. Therefore, the primary objective of this paper is to research for a simple and quick review of the procedure to detect the disease in its early stages. Further, a tremor simulator for assessment of hand tremors is designed and developed in this investigation
