Monitoring patients with Parkinson’s Disease is valuable in disease management in order to follow symptom severity, disease progression and treatment response. This implies using different measures of disease ratings scales. Rating scales used in Parkinson’s Disease is usually performed with rating items which are subjective and qualitative.
Parkinson’s KinetiGraph (PKG) is a wearable technology for an objective and quantitative measure of symptom severity which quantifies motor disturbances (dyskinesias and bradykinesias) reflecting disease severity.
Is PKG a validated method to measure motor disturbances in Parkinson’s Disease?
SBU Enquiry response consists of systematic literature searches to highlight studies that can address questions received by the SBU Inquiry Service from Swedish healthcare or social service providers. Relevant references are compiled by an SBU staff member, in consultation with an external expert when needed. The quality of the studies identified is not systematically reviewed.
